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

No new layout photos, but here is one at the Port of Tacoma. This was taken out the window of the truck.

Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.

WCFan, if I can be so bold.  Go outside and look at the sky.  Note the color of the blue?  The blue you are using is about 300 shades too dark.  If you go to your local home-improvment store you can as then to mix "sky" blue as a color.  It is much lighter and will look more apropriate for your backdrop.

Or is the sky that dark down south?

Actually, the "sky blue color is still too dark. They will have a color strip. 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!

Just my thoughts, ideas, opinions and experiences. Others may vary.

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

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.

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.

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

No pics, but I went to Home Depot tonight to pick up supplies for benchwork.  Looks like my first layout is finally coming together...
