Here's a switcher with some green on it, and a ship with a green superstructure floating in some green water:

Still time for some more green...

Looks like the red boiler ran out of steam, how about a red diner, B&M 84 "Mountaineer". A Rivarossi diner that I painted and detailed with an IHC interior

Show me another diner on wheels

One Project ... coming right up...

Couplers are replaced with draw bars. All cars are wired together both for power (48 wheel pickup) and lighting (a new circuit that looks promising.)

There are three such train sets on the road now, one on the bench, two awaiting revisions and three more in boxes waiting to see the light of day.

Nine train sets will run all at once.

Now show me your complicated thing.

Last post on Sunday, maybe Lion's ROAR is scaring people away, maybe this is something complicated. It is an in-progress photo of a background building that I am working on for Central St in Sheepscott. It will go behind the hotel, so much of the lower parts will be hidden. Still need roofs, building fronts on the back section and lots of painting and details

This is a test fit

Looks like there were two LIONS trying to post at once!

OK, a dome car, bu I do not have one of these. They do not fit in subway tunnels.

Instead of more waterfront, I'll have to show you less waterfront, because this was only sort of mocked up when I snapped the pitcher.

Show me something on your layout (in addition to train) that MOVES.

With the unsaesonably warm weather we have been having in the east lately, people are thinking of fishing, barbecue picknics and just laying out soaking up some rays, like here on the bothbay RR Village layout

Show me some of your plans for spring or summer

This is the first part of my new railroad, the Pueblo & Salt Lake RR.

I've already started with benchwork. And I hope to have a Silver Spike in the next months.

Show me your current project

My current project is renovating and rebuilding one of the 2 rooms the layout occupies down cellar.  Had new drywall put up for the backdrop along one wall, got it painted,

And made a few clouds:

More projects please!
