Had to put the last bit of details on this one over the past week.  Now I have to figure out where to put it on the layout.  But, that will have to wait for a couple of weeks ...

 

No weekend fun for me ... I will spend a lot of this weekend in the air but by the middle of next week I'll be riding the Grand Canyon Railroad.

Hi loathar: Thanks for your reply. I've tried to use a different color for all my brick buildings.  I've read that most brick buildings are rarely the same color, and when I was building buildings I started really looking at real brick buildings.  And that's pretty much true.  Even slight variations of the same color is realistic.  The Suds Bucket aka "Bloody Bucket" is a wood kit. I would think wood siding would be even more colorful.

Well, this week I put up some crossing lights on my layout. They're wired to a switch and a flasher circut.

Here we go.........  Heres a few shots of my layout.  I posted them earlier this week, but here they are again.  Also heres my newest edition to my layout.  A Southern Pacific!!!!  Its a Broadway Limited with the works!!!!!  You name it, it has it.  Now, I model NS but I will give this one a good weather job and a lease patch.  I put a shot of the engine and how easy it is to put the DCC chip in.   I can't wait to get it going, and thanks to Tom for helping me.
