Hurrah! The first green on the G&AMR 5.0!
A Happy New Year to everybody!
I was quite lazy today and didn't get much done, I only managed to put the name of the company on this building:
Yesterday evening I was looking for something and stumbled over these beauties. Some days I'm tempted...
I added a retaining wall. Now I need to come up with some kind of barrier to stop cars from tumbling down...
I took a few days off from modeling but today the itch was back...
I added a roof and a roof shack to the red building:

Keep scratch'in Michael. I enjoy following your work.

The layout is coming along great Michael. I always like to see your custom buildings. You are a one man dynamo.
Robert
What, not done yet? Only half joking, you work at an amazing pace and I thought I was fast, nothing compared to you.
I finished the shack, added a water tank, added roofing, and painted everything:
Today I started with the Barnesville Freight Station by making the base of the loading platforms:
I don't have much time for the hobby right now so no progress at all... but today there was a package in the mail with a locomotive that I must have pre-ordered a long time ago:
Tody I don't feel like creating structures so I picked some other task. One of the advantages of a big layout is that you can always work on something 20 feet away and have a different kind of fun...

Hey Michael,
Not to be impertinent, but what is the deal with these photos? And while I'm at it, what is the deal with that loco? What is it and why does it appear to straddle two tracks?
Thanks,

ROBERT PETRICK Hey Michael, Not to be impertinent, but what is the deal with these photos? And while I'm at it, what is the deal with that loco? What is it and why does it appear to straddle two tracks? Thanks, Robert
That loco is a German E52 electric locomotive. It was ordered over a year ago when I still had my German H0 layout and finally arrived yesterday.
I've added a layer of plaster cloth:
Now who decided to run a rail line along the base of the white cliffs of Dover?
But seriously, even though it is more or less just a smooth white covering, the difference it makes compared to the wide open benchwork is huge. Even without rock forms and 'earth' colors.
Looks like I'm in terrain mode...
Shaping the mountain:
I spent another half hour and added the plaster cloth layer. I'm calling it a day now...
That looks fantastic, what a transformation. Great to see the scenery progressing.
I didn't get started today until after lunch. My wife had other plans...
First thing I did today is make a road:
I connected one side of the road to the mountain:
Here comes the other side:
I got lucky today, I was able to talk my wife into cleaning the floor of my layout room:
OMG, again you talked her into this, and she still has that great smile from the last time she cleaned up for you!
Lucky man!
