All righty cowpokes. Here are the ingredients for my South Branch Stockyards. I need to somehow arrange them in such a way that makes for a more "believable" scene. I have a lot more white fencing to fabricate, and yes, I will be painting the Plasticville cattle pen white, once a configuration is decided upon. What are your opinions on painting the Lionel 3656 white? Suggestions appreciated.
Boy, talk about a disappointment. I expected to see somebody in a Scooby Doo costume.

I admit its slow. I moved the blue tape and gave myself 30" walkways on the one end and side and widened the track area by 6".
It looks promising so I threw down some additional Wide Gauge track. It is all original Flyer track.
II think I can.
I think I can.
I did it!
Not much of an interesting track plan, but it will accomplish what I want it to do. So on to painting, lighting and assembling the table and cleaning the track. I can run a few trains now.

Painting the cattle car white? I don't know, cattle cars were meant for rough, and let's face it, dirty service. I'd think a dark boxcar red or brown would be more in order, possibly even a dark green.
That's a nice section you've got building!
Flintlock - I meant to paint the cattle pen (yellow), not the livestock car. Sorry for the confusion. I have no intention on repainting those orange ARMOUR beauties. I might switch the Lionel pen to the opposite side of the track. Has anyone tried that? I also placed a cork roll down to deaden the vibration when activated.
Northwoods - I see another inner-loop of O-31, or even O-27, in that track plan. Perhaps a figure 8 on one of those loops.
Are you not entertained...???
Anybody got a box of "Scooby Snacks" ?
That was awesome, Fife!!!!
