Here is first coat of wash on the mountain. You can see Hobo’s Cave.
I hope next week to work on the hunting scene. Have some hunters and some corn. Have no idea how to the picked corn.

What was in those photos was my entire layout.[:)]
Oh, FUZZY railroad! I get it, it’s on the carpet. Boy, I’m slow today!
4884bigboy, you got the page URL, not the photo URL - here is what you wanted:
Art,
You’re looking good. I can’t wait to get to that stage–in about 2008.
Once again nice pics from everyone. depending when I wake in the morning I’ll either take some photo so i can finally post them or i’ll go spend some money at the hobby shop.
Grande man- Every pic you post makes me jealous of your layout. Do you have your track plan online. I would love to see your overall layout.
4884Bigboy- You need to put some CSX in that photo. You have to represent for the csx thread. Still a nice photo though.
Andrew
Thanks Andrew. There’s some good side info about the Platte Canyon Sub on page 1 & 2 of this “virtual tour” post. Page two has an overall view and description of the track plan. Thanks for your interest and have a great weekend.

Here’s one of my pics-

Another great selection guys, inspiring.
Grande, your pics never fail to please, love your work.
Lesterperry, awesome scenery/trees !! what did you use for the logs? they look great.
Bxcarmike, that weathering/rust effect looks fantastic,great outdoors shot.
I havent had chance to do much this week so I tried my hand at weathering my first reefer this afternoon.( I only realised what reefer meant yesterday !! [:I] )
I initially weathered it with … photocopier toner !!! which I read about a while ago and have been dying to try. It gave a really dirty, ‘sooty’ effect, which I thought looked great. Spray of dull coat. Then I rusted the rivets and doorhinges with testors rust. Next was painting the areas where the rust/paint had worn off with excessive use, ie, steps, ladders and doorlock bar, I used rustolium ‘aluminium’ for that.
I think it turned out well for my first attempt, although next time I will do the painting before the copytoner.
Have fun & be safe, keep the great pics coming.
Karl.
last one,P2K gp-9,detailed for NH
So you found an HO one? I guess I can stop looking for you now.
