FlashwaveLove the ps everyone. Especially Wolfgang;s simply because it;s a great MRR pic without a train. That said, Wolfgang, there;s something in the formattin of the blog that has mashed the first paragraph way to the left, annd it is kinda painful to read.

Catt, I wish I could see it better. I'm afraid your image doesn't do it justice, but I can see that it turned out very well...net, backboard, and all. Well done!

I managed to just run across a "before photo of the area I showed earlier (page 2 I think).
The area used to look like this:
Same area today:
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!

markpierce Are the colors accurately reproduced in the picture? The rails look green to me. What brand and color is the paint? Edit -- I'm referring to John's photo of a train crossing the steel bridge. Mark

The rails are actually railroad tie brown. I intend to paint them a grimy black with some brown rust here and there. Now that you mention the green tinge stands out to me to, in the photos anyway.
John
selector Mark, on my monitor the colour of the rails in John's image is identical to the tone of the earth at the upper edge of the image above the tank car most removed from the tunnel portal. I see a sort of hand-held fan-shaped swath above that first tanker with its top edge contiguous with the top edge of the photo itself. The colour there and what I see of the rails on the bridge are so close as to be indistinguishable to me. -Crandell

That's a relief. I thought maybe John used Floquil's rail brown (green).

Or you could make a how to video and sell it at a reasonable price...I'd sure as heck buy one.
Aggro,
What I would like to see is you create a video of one of your trains running by with all of your nice weathered cars.

unless you teach me!
Oakhurst Railroad Engineer The darker soil looks better in the particular lighting that you used to take the picture. How typical is that lighting? Have you glued down the dark real soil yet? I tried some ballasting recently with real dirt and it darkened significantly (and too much) when I used some alcohol to "wet" it before hitting it with diluted white glue. It never lightened, even when dry. Suggest you try a small test area. Marty

Thanks Marty. I have not glued the dark soil yet. I will add a variety to see if that helps.
Aggro, Have any links?

Keep in mind the background hills are all honey colored grass and when I settle on something they will get the same treatment.

I wish I could get the license for firecrackers and bottle rockets. rocket motors duct taped to sticks with a crackle ball with a elongated fuse on to just doesn't cut it.

Happy Independence Day to my Fellow Americans, and a great weekend to everyone else as well!
Crandell..... Nice shot! That loco is making me drool all over the keyboard! Outstanding job on the concrete dock as well.
I have been continuing around the corner from the farm to the Team Track by the Freight Depot.
Wider view:
I Also put together this Tomar Horse Drawn Farm Wagon this week. The team is actually from some other horse drawn equipment now set over by the shed. I love the Tomar kits, but are a bit of work.

I am about 80% done with this scene. Just needs a lot more small details, people, and frieght.
