Got my new run Kato SD80MAC in Conrail this week. I added the detail parts and painted the vents and fans. This greatly enhances the appearance of the model.

Hi Cornelius!  That's a good looking Conrail Sd80MAC you have there!

I'm not sure but you might have mistakenly posted in the wrong thread, did you mean for it to be in the Weekend Photo Fun (WPF) thread?  The last request was for water, any water such as a lake, river, stream etc.  If you'd like to make a new request for something that would be great.

This is my longest uncompleted project. I think I've spent  more time under the layout wiring as I have on top. This is also my Winter project.

 

 

Yes,  completion means backdrops too.

Misery loves company so show me some more of your longest uncompleted Scenery

This is the HOn30 narrow gage roadbed and track on the Boothbay Railway Village layout. The Peco track is being installed and was completed about a year ago. The lower standard gage track was done a couple of years before that. We have been busy elsewhere on the layout, so this remains just benchwork for now...

Show me some more uncompleted scenery
