Very nice work so far.  Makes me hesitant to try to follow up on what's been posted.

A run down the grade:

That is an interesting foreground. Do those tracks go somewhere or are they abandoned? If they do run, do you have any problems with foliage getting caught up in trains?

Hi again everyone!  I built some Proto:87 switches last week, and now its back to some structure work again. This week I finished Bar Mills "Sweaty Betty's".  Great kit for someone who would want to get their feet wet with laser cut kits. This will probably be the last one for a bit...the kits I have left on the shelf are very involved, and nice weather is just around the corner. My cabin fever days will soon come to an end for another year.

Jody, very fine modeling you have going on there.  I like the pavement and brickwork especially. Yes

 Jarrell that's a nice looking scene.   I like the flashlight idea!!

 

 Here's one from me.  Its been awhile since I weathered some cars, but I'm getting back into the swing of things.

Hello out there!  Time to get this thread under way, I have places to go and trains to run...  Big Smile

and with a mug like this I HAVE to run!

Below is Southern's ol' 721 spotting a box car at Bubba's.  The 'sun' in this photo is a small flashlight held to a yard stick with a rubber band and the stick is clamped to an ancient tripod that's nearly as old as me!

I digitally removed the yard stick.
