<p>Another weekly update !</p><p><br />I jumped around on the layout (figuratively) doing a bunch of things this past week. I am going to list them more or less in the order that I photographed the results.</p><p><br />I received the last three IR block detectors and installed them; now all of the hidden track is monitored for occupancy.</p><p><br />I added about 3 feet of plaster mountain on the lower level. This connects the tunnel on the continuous run loop to the ground level on the outside of the track (this was just a 2" plywood strip). No picture though. I also got most of the tunnel portals done so that the tunnel liner blends into the mountain. Even got these colored with a basic color.</p><p><br />Oops - found a poor photo. You can barely see the portals. the lowest area on the outside of the track is the added plaster section.</p><p>[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/022807-006_r.jpg[/IMG]</p><p><br />I got started on some preliminary detailing in the barren areas of Arock. The area by the mine got talus, a few trees and a rip-rap bin. Mike the miner showed up with some of his friends and one of the two new baggage carts. Throughout this update you will see some white paper printed signs that represent the to-be-applied decals.</p><p><br />[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/022807-010_r.jpg[/IMG]</p><p><br />People (and a new baggage cart) started showing up at the Arock depot:</p><p><br />[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/022807-011_r.jpg[/IMG]</p><p><br />Ken Burns Coal and Firewood took delivery of a new coal wagon. The wagon and the driver's shirt were color matched to the building.</p><p><br />[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/022807-016_r.jpg[/IMG]</p><p><br />I did another series in "The evolution of"; this time for a company house (Thread in this forum). It is the blue building in this photo.</p><p><br />[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/030307-011_r.jpg[/IMG]</p><p><br />Plus I did a lot of operating.</p><p><br />Thanks for looking. </p><p><br />Comments ?</p><p> </p>
