Great start all. Happy new year.
Aggro, great to see you swing by again.
Selector : very nice.
I planted some grass yesterday, I bought two Heki Static Grass mats to see what they are like, they are the ones you cut or rip apart to make random tufts.
This is the result so far: I think it looks quite nice. I plan on getting soe more and maybe a different colou or two to finish the layout off, a big improvement over the ground foam I think.
Looking toward the grain elevator.
And the hill side cutting.
Cheers.

Happy New Year everybody,
It's been a long time since I posted on WPF, I figured it would be nice to share a couple of photo's of the portable layout I'm building. It's 1X8 and splits into two 1X4 sections so it can fit in the back of my car. I'm building this layout as a DCC demonstration layout to be used at train shows, show visitors will be allowed to operate it (with supervision). It also has it's own programming track and will be connected to a laptop running JMRI so we can try to help those that are having difficulties programming.
.
Here's a view of the bottom, It has a solid wood bottom with access doors to protect the switch motors and DCC system during transport.
The tracks are almost down, and I'm awaiting the delivery of the PH-Pro system I ordered so I can begin the wiring.
Cheers,
Jamie

Back again. I love long weekends.
I've been working on the scenery around this old mill building. Back on page 1 I had a shot of the building in place, but I've had time to dig out the canal, line it with plaster cloth, paint the walls black to reduce the visibility of gaps in the stone walls, and add the walls themselves:
I made 3 stone wall castings with Hydrocal, one flat, one concave and one convex so that I could follow the walls smoothly.

Got a rear facing headlight into an Arnold N scale S-2 (reported previously elsewhere). Currently working on experiments to get a working light in the nose...Lee
