Nice work so far, guys.
I built a nice little elevator from a Rocky Mountain Model Works kits, their #HO-106. Not sure if they're still around. but it went together well. The instructions were really good on finishing and painting, which is a help to a paint klutz like me.
This will be the office at the ASARCO mill and smelter in Durango. I'm also working on a Tsunami install on my Sunset K-28. Just needs lights (SMD LEDs maybe in the mail here today?) and the speaker hooked up, plus a final tidying up of things. May have pics by the end of the weekend on that.

Ahhhhhh! The weekend is here!
Finally... I have the tracks all installed leading to the lower staging area on the SLOW. Most all the tracks are hand laid code 83 and have Fast Tracks Hand Laid turnouts as well. A few areas that will not show and the tracks in the staging area itself are Atlas code 83, but about 85% of this whole rebuild is hand laid track. Please pardon the mess, as this was the first test run of a train into the staging area, and there is still some track to be laid and adjustments to be made before adding details, paint, and ballast to the trackage. In the next couple days the route into the upper staging should be finished as well. here is tonight's successful run (only two misswired frogs that were easy fixes...).

We'll get there sooner or later!
OK Chad!
Which is the older unit and which is the newer unit? I'm going to bet on the unit on the right being the newer one because I think there has been some very skillful minor weathering and softening of the colours. The one on the left looks like it needs to be run through a mud puddle. Am I right?
