I’m always interested in seeing how others do pavement.
Mine’s just a retread of an industrial loading lot so it has some rough area. I think that adds to the character of it though. In this part of the country you seldom see a paved lot that doesn’t have some kind area that’s been busted up.
I finished up this Frenchman River lobster boat over the last week.
The figures are from Preiser. The traps and lines were all included in the kit. Rocks by Bragdon.
Jeff, I like the look of your pavement very realistic.
Mister Beasly, I could be wrong, but did you happen to get the name of you boat from the movie Perfect Storm? [;)]
Hey now…a Pacer and a Gremlin in the opening WPF shots. Very nice! Jamie
Looks great, I really like the combination of older cars and newer cars in the shot. Now, if only I could get that good with my stuff.
Great photos so far everyone! This is my new beast on my RR: 
A Bachmann Spectrum 2-10-2. It is lettered for the Seaboard and will pull about 20 twenty year old cars.
Jeffery: A Pacer and Gremlin! Got any figures with bell-bottom pants?
Mister B: I’m digging your lobsta boat. It’s just sweet! HO scale?
I finally got scenery on part of the layout top the point where I can start thinking seriously about structure & tree placements.

The freighthouse on the outskirts of the town of Munee
Ol’ Stumpy says things is kinda slow at the lumber mill just now, but things should pick up once they get a building to saw their wood in…

This week I finished the two buildings in the McGraw Oil Co. (Walthers)

Yes, the lobster boat is in HO scale. I made the decals myself.
Yes, that’s where the name came from. First, though, while casting about for names, I thought of naming the boat “Miss Penny,” after my wife. She already has a street and subway station on my layout named for her (Penny Lane) so I didn’t feel too bad about the name change. I did a bit of research on the Andrea Gail, and discovered, to my amazement, that when she was originally built, her owners named her “Miss Penny.”
Jarrell, your kits turned out really nicely. My compliments to you!
Mr. B. your water looks great and the boat right at home in it…or is that “on” it.
Jim, very nice work on your lumber storage shed. [8D]

Here’s an overview of the layout at the end of 2008. In the far distance is a bit of temporary scenery I did for my helix clinic. The helix is out of sight on the far right.
And here’s a view of what I and my friend Walt did a few days ago - we added all the studs to support the upper deck and the backdrops, and added the lower level backdrop support stringers. I was standing in that far corner for the previous shot. Obviously I’ve got some other work to finish - like running the Pex heating lines that are hanging there coiled up - before I can proceed further in this area.
Here are a few from the Willoughby Line:
Cow in the grass.
Rusting in the weeds.
Pulling up the spur.

Awesome! [tup][tup]
Wow. [tup]
Lots of first class work. Keep them coming.

I took a quick shot of my layout. Kinda let you see which way the track is going (as of right now) . Plus I didn’t get a chance to clean up any. So there are a few pieces of track laying around.
Friday ain’t even over, and already a ton of great shots! [bow]
Robby, layout is looking great.
Well, apparently my dad has a tripod somewhere, so you know what that means. More pictures of the AAT branch (I can here your groans even now).
Good shots so far and its only Friday night.
Figured many people would spot Jeffrey’s Pacer and Gremlin right off, but the first thing that caught my eye was the Olds 442.
Robby, do you have anything holding up that coaling station or is it just hanging in limbo as appears in the pic? LOL.
