I found the Salina sign at the web, with photoshop I removed the parts I didn't want.

I printed on white decal sheet and applied it to the wooden board.

Buildings look great. I would suggest you tone down the grille of the car, a bit too bright. A India Ink was wiped quickly would do the trick.

Good point!  What's ironic is how dusty the car is and how bright the grill is.Big Smile  Thanks for the compliment on the buildings.

The new boards I have been building over the last month made their public debut at Nottingham (UK) Model Railway Show this weekend. Here are some photos of the layout in full 'exhibition mode'

My Magic Pan Bakery kit bashed with the Walthers Stamping plant to make it a bit bigger and have a loading and unloading area.

It's a Fleischmann 0-4-0 with a four wheel tender and two axle coach. It knows two speeds. Dead stop and wide open.

This evening I began decaling the first of my scratchbuilt freight cars. I fictionally labeled this one #1014 as it has different doors than #1013, but at 36' is shorter than the 40' #1015.

You can see #1005 next in line for decals. :)

Sir Madog,   

       Where you get this schooner and do they have a two mast one?  Been looking for one for my layout.

Just a quick update, as I did some work on the schooner this morning.

Thanks Sean.

I just finished up two more.  The Nebraska Belt #902 and V.&T. 1005.  The locomotive N.B.R.R. 86 is lettered with Photoshop text to see how it looks.   Thoughts? :)

Thanks, Jeffrey -

I have one of those two speed locos myself.  When it finally decides to move, it runs like a rocket sled.  At least yours looks good.

Gidday, Great looking first post, no pressure of course but hope to see more of the same. Welcome

Cheers, The Bear.
