Early February 2016 Update


I have been working on the railroad as time allows.  Some recent projects include, weathering rolling stock and locomotives, building structures, and working toward completion of the base layer of scenery.  I am amazed that a little bit of work on scenery can so drastically change the look of the layout!  I guess I have been seeing pink foam for so long, that any little change is a welcome change!

A couple of recent photos show some of the changes...




Recently added DCC Throttle Pockets... in lieu of sticky-back Velcro, which can be temporary at times and allow throttles to fall to the floor!










 Various photos of some base scenery work underway.









Happy Railroading!

    Scott,
    Great work there on the Scenic section of your Layout- certainly lifts the spirits from the pink foam. Have joined your site - and look forward to following your progress. Cheers. KEV.

    Hi Kev,
    Thank you for your kind words. Working on the railroad happens occasionally, when I can find time. Other commitments (family & work) seem to occupy my time and the railroad just isn't a priority. With winter beginning, I am hoping to be able to spend more time in the train room. Come to think of it, I should start by making a list of projects that need to be started/completed.... otherwise I will be overwhelmed with so much to do and so little time!
    Take Care,
    Scott

      Scott,
      I know how you feel regarding Work & Family commitments- in my previous Factory- Industrial employment I worked 12 hour Shifts -waking at 4:00am and getting back home at 7:00pm Mon-Friday...hours at work were 66 hours per week with a half-Saturday and on my feet all day...yet I found an hour here and there to do some modelling- not much, but a bit- I looked forward to Sunday being free. Yes, it is the way to go to chip away at a favourite Project and gradually get it completed- one step at a time. I'm Retired now- and can basically spend as much time as needed on the Model Railroading...it IS a great time in life now- and appreciate every moment. Regards. KEV.

    Hey KEV,
    Thanks for the shout out. I will try to post an update with photos in the near future. My modeling time has been limited lately. I am actually in the midst of a deep cleaning on the train room. Straightening up some things and tossing a lot in the trash! My goal is to get things in order and also remind myself of exactly what I have! Stay tuned for more!
    Happy railroading!
    Scott
