Oh Boy! The Weekend!This week I got the final shape of the hillside done and plaster cloth in. I got some dirt painted on the plaster and dug the hole for the house foundation. Almost overnight, the grass started growing. It must have been that rain we had earlier in the week!Later today some trees and shrubs grew in the fertile dirt.....Then.... Suddenly.... Without warning.... As if by magic, a house appeared!Still a lot of detailing to be done, but it is getting there. Here is an overview of the area as it looks now:So? What comes next? I'm not telling! But, here is a sneak preview of the next phase of the building of Hopewell Junction:
Nice work everyone, BTW!
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!
Hi Tom,
I do all my own work from benchwork to scenery with the exception of trees, which come from three suppliers including ===> Canyon Creek Scenics . This is my 3rd layout in 16 years.

Nowt wrong with BL2s, but they do look much better without all the grabirons in the way.
I like them because they resemble some of our early British diesels.

Huh?
Thanks, but a certain Pennsy coal train at the head of this topic blows that one out the water
Crandell's right, Jon. That's a low blow - even if you do exquisite work.
Crandell, I forgot to mention that I also like your latest perspective picture of your layout. Very, very, nice! I don't know why. I'm just a sucker for coal trains.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Great shots, gents.
I've been working on a Monon BL2 this week
There's a video too

Perry,
"Woo doos" your layout? Very Brycey. You've captured it well.
great photos!
And I like Perry's stairway. (You could keep it cleaner if you didn't let horses on it, though...)
Here's a small shelter I scratch-built last week for the trolley stop on Saint Anne Street. The figures are Woodland Scenics.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Thanks, everyone, for your kind support. I can't seem to get enough of Pennsy steam!
Perry, I don't think there is anyone who posts here who can do "sun" as well as you. I sure like your rugged scenery. The diesel isn't half bad either.

Great shot selector!
Love that big Pennsy Steamer!
I have several myself.
Mostly BLI's. I have a J1, an M1a an M1b, and 2- T1 duplexes , all PRR engines.

Selector that's a fine shot --- fantastic detail and very real to the eye!!
The sun's on the rise in Arizona...
Nice work Selector!
It's only 10:40 here... Maybe in two hours.
Selector, your shot is superb. Not only is the curve and locomotive magnificent, the roadway down the hillside helps create a true sense of distance.
While it will be nothing compared to what Crandell has here, I've almost got Esleeck Manufacturing done, (just need to install the window glass). Pictures coming soon.
I'm at the computer and felt I might as well get this thread underway...it's past noon out where a lot of you are, so it's official.
