I matched top blue of the SceniKing banner section at the paint shop, so that the blue painted above is exactly the same as the blue at the top of the 7 1/2 inch high SceniKing picture. By applying the picture and blue sky to a roll down window shade, the window is still accessable, but the transition between the window shade and adjacent scenery is nearly invisible.By painting the vertical flat surfaces on the front two sides of the scene a flat grey, it does not distract from one's attention from the scene.

True...very nice illusion. HOWEVER I see the earthquake has struck here as well. I see downed powerlines to the right of the picture. I hope they're not LIVE! People could get KILLED!
I've made a little progress this week.
That will be a lake there on the lower right
This should be a pretty dramatic railfanning location when it's farther along:
And here's my project from Christmas week when the layout was under a Stop Work order because we thought the house might sell:

I plan to have a way to cover the ski slope and skating rink during the summer season at the Bavarian hill top Resort.I thought for a minute there you were modeling an earthquake! Not one building is level I think the ski resort will look pretty cool though once you're done.

For me nothing captures the nostalgic flavor of steam like a sepia photo It's like looking at an cigar box full of old photos
This does look suspiciously like a Charlie Comstock inspired photo
Careful Selector you could get good !
Nothing happening on the layout this weekend.. One guess on why..
Loather, I just love the detail you did with the donkey, but it would not normally be positioned at a bird feeder. Perhaps adding a fence to that scene might help. Kidding aside, your neighbors really should keep their critters from roaming like that. It's not safe for the critters, especially if there are roads nearby. Rob
Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.

Aaaaaaaaah ya------------ Well maybe--------- Why ?
Sorry about that Loathar-didn't mean to show up so early, just wanted to see your progress on the layout.

Brian .... Great line up of UP first generation units.

Here is a picture of a spur of the moment project I worked on tonight. I need several car card boxes for my layout so I decided to make up 1 prototype to see how well they will work. I only have about 6 more to make for the towns and two larger ones for the yards.
Nice work everyone !

Here's 2 UP ABBA FA/B ALCO sets,and 3 UP H15-44's on the throat of my loco depot (ie, the loco depot consists only of the lead to it, and the tracks finish about 12 inches under the bridge - the main line is to the right). All units have sound installed.
