Jeffrey, you're right, it was Lady Lionel. I knew it was Lady something. I like you're rusty roof effect. It's hard to get that right on a sheet metal roof.
Jim, the fire department is in the front and the police department is in the rear. This is a real small town. The firefighters are hanging the hoses up to dry.
Jeffrey,
I really like the calibre of photos that you are producing now. Gotta love the AC unit in the backdrop of the 1st pic!
Today I rusted up the roofs of my engine house and foundry.

That'll teach the cops to arrest a volunteer fireman! Bet they thought he wouldn't be able to get out of that second story cell...
Well, if there was a pink submarine (Operation Petticoat) why not a pink locomotive. Of course, a few minutes under steam would have coated that pristine stack, boiler top and cab roof with a layer of very un-feminine gray-black grunge...

Great, I'm seeing pink locos and it's only Friday afternoon...
Here's hoping for another great round of WPF. Nice pictures thus far!
Some switching work on my layout (Digital backdrops):
The ballasting for the inner loops maintenance spur is done. Now I have to work on building up the foundation for the engine house.
Hello nice log cars my dad is working on some . He is making his from scratch but they wont be done for awhile. I been working on the layout add a 4x7 to make a L shape got some track tack in place but its not done yet. Found a box of train stuff at a garage sale for 4$. Most will be used for parts some may get fixed but I did fined a 4-6-2 at the bottom of the box my little wanted it so I fixed it and she painted it the center axle is bent bad has a bad wobble but it runs . Have a good weekend Frank
I guess I'll be the first to start this round of weekend accomplishments.
I spent the last week of my lunch hour putting this together. I want to thank Kadee for the excellent support. The logs need a little weathering and dull coat, but other than that, it's done. I can't wait to do the next 3.
