Good Afternoon! It´s a bit of an awkward day! Not as hot as in the past days, but still too humid for me to feel comfortable. Another "I won´t be doing much" day! tin can - happy anniversary and welcome to the club of marital dinosaurs! Hardly a couple reaches this amount of years nowadays, we may be the last generation that at least attempts to make marriage last a lifetime. My parents made it up to 62 years! After running the afternoon train on my layout, I thought I should try my luck with that rural road leading to the silos - desperately needing a grade crossing! Not much of an exercise, just piling up a bit of sand, shaping it with a flat brush, wetting it with "wet water"and using an eyedropper to apply diluted white glue. I still have bits and pieces of veneer left I will be using to make the boards filling the gap between the rails. What I also need is Swiss-style crossbucks. There is a kitchen counter business in Switzerland making them, but at Swiss-style prices. $18 a pair is not really a bargain! That will have to wait for some time! Just a quick shot: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030346_zpsountxwo2.jpg" alt=" " /> Looking at the picture I saw the missing paint on the masonite board I use for the platform - it´s been painted by now! I am awaiting a delivery (also a present for my upcoming birthday) of some scenic materials and figures. I thought adding some "life" to the bridge and the chapel would be nice, so I will place a bridal pair, some kids and a Catholic priest in front of the chapel and a photographer a little further down on the bridge. Adding the sound of an organ playing Mendelssohn´s Wedding March while the chapel bells are ringing would be overdoing it a little, wouldn´t it?
