Hi Guys I know I'm late but I don't care.
the Coal train passes the Mixed freight at Centralia
The Mixed freight goes through what will eventually be the Assembly plant.
The Future Storage yard for Centralia Assembly
The Rack loading yard for Centralia Assembly
Found this at the Bargin Bin at the LHS. I think I paid like 10, It was a brand new M-T Car
Completely un train related unless you consider that we noticed a N&S mixed freight go past the air field.
Taken at the Scott AFB airshow today. The only WW2m bird of note, but one well worth seeing.

Sue - that's one of the best pics I've seen for someone planning an intermodal transfer yard!!
After work stopping on my layout for the past 4 months, I've finally started making some progress again. I have two oil storage tanke and a partially comepleted loading platofrm that I am trying to detmerine the final location. The Dullcote bottle is a future small building.

Go at least two shades lighter.

The room my trains are in happens to be painted blue. A nice blue, good (enough for me anyway) to be a sky. It also happens to be remarkably almost identical to the color of blue insulation foam!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

Thanks guys.

I was updating my website and I ran across this ad for one of the industries on my new layout.

As usual, Jon, great attention to detail.
Nothing new from me this weekend, so a couple of recent(ish) FM photos at Sweethome instead.
Going to the NMRA convention? Here's the conventions site, Detroit's Ren Cen under construction. I took the photo. The convention wil be held in the building.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
Thank-you for your positive remarks, everyone. As I have stated in recent threads, a yard adds immensely to the model railroader's experience, so I am very happy to have had this one turn out okay. There have been days when I can only snatch 20 minutes at the layout, and doing some switching becomes the menu for the day sometimes. It is a lot of fun.
In case you are nearing the point where you are wondering how to add ground covering, or soil, to your yard, I live in a quite sandy area with improved soil in the garden to which organic stuff has been added for tilth. I screened some dried garden soil, added some plaster of paris, and then added some brown masonary dye if it was too light in colour. Sprinkled a 1/4" layer of the material down, and used a baby food jar to "roll" it flat. Then, I spritzed it with an alcohol/water mix and let it set.
In case you might be concerned about your semi-natural yard coming alive later, the plaster and alcohol do a good job of neutralizing anything that wakes up.
Chip, we'll all be doing the in your direction in a very short time...I can feel it. I feel that way about Tom (tstage) already....talk about someone coming a long way!! He can give lessons on scratchbuilding and kitbashing. Another giant is Simon...the man's a wizard. I know he still lurks here at times, but I have a very soft spot for CNJ's modeling...another wizard. Doc Wayne, wm, there are too many to list. We're a lucky bunch to have them here.

Crandell,
I gotta say I'm impressed at how far you've come since yout last layout.
This is an older photo of a part of my small HO layout. None of the containers are plastic. They are printed on 60 something weight paper, cut out and glued together.
last night i also added removable staging (since space is an issue) for the layout...
Nice looking Locos David
Great Back drop Tom
I posted Photos the other day on the progress on my friends layout

Been almost a month since I worked on RR.
Working on backdrop. I'm taking photos from the web into photoshop, change lighting levels and doing some blending between scenes. Then print with poster printing software (one wide scene printed on 3 to 6 sheets of paper). When satisified, I am using rubber cement to put scenes together and on the backdrop.
Working on sheets that are up about 1 inch here. Currently taped in place.
Regards,
Tom

Speaking of stupendous,
Simon, what else would you do in the way of "weathering"? I think that third pic is stupendous. If you add a wash or two it might detract from the rather excellent effect you have derived already.
