Last weekend I was in destruction mode. The original plan for an upper deck was just not going to work. Late this Thursday, we got the legs built for the new modules. Now starting in “constuction” mode again and boy it feels good [:D]. Updated layout plan in my sig.
Great pics. I especially like the trre with the broken limb. These are my contribution to the WPF. the first is a long mixed freight train (31 cars) going arounf the reverse loop, as you can see there isn’t a lot of space (1/4’') between the loco and the caboose.
Gotta love them P2K Geeps. Have a good weekend Mike
Looking Good Guys!,Heres alittle more progress with the new lake, im waiting on some tunnel portals to come in the mail then ,i think ill start to paint and add rocks trees ect
Started putting up backdrop, grid supports and first section in. This is the Bruce Petty idea for using extended shelf brackets and 1x2 poplar lumber for the support. It’s a start…
I am in Canada, so it is Remembrance Day here. I have been working on the backdrop. I put a couple of buildings in front and some background buildings in the back just for effect. Great work everybody.
Nice work everyone. Still in tracl planning phase here. But I did get one of my usra 55 ton hoppers built this week. This was my first rolling stock from a kit, so it was a new experience from me. I dont care for the accumate couplers on it though. I will replace them with kaydees when I get the rest of my stock done, but thats down the line.[:)]
Nice looking work posted so far. I have been on about a 6 month break form working on my layout, but now I’m back on track (ha ha pun intended). I have put a couple of signals protecting the main and the siding near my tunnel. I still need to get one for trains going in the opposite direction.
Only one of the signals works at the moment. I still need to build the switching circuit for the other one. I also need to do some ballast work around the bottom of the signal masts, but that is for another day.
