Beautiful!

Great work Roy!

I don't know if you are going to get around to weathering the SIDES of the building (your roof weathering is gorgeous), but that is a minor quibble. It's a beautiful scene!

Looking Good

Looking good, Roy. I Like how you're keeping the corporate theme and slowly spreading the yard buildings out. That hotel in the back corner looks like a lot of small town hotels you would find in western Canada.

To Al,

You're right about the weathering. I started by following up a tip I saw on MRH about mud-spashes at the bottoms of structures and will work some other weathering in. I like to think that after all the restoration is complete that the actual EBT will look about the same as the models. I also used some photos I took of Pete Clarke's HOn3 EBT when I operated on it. Apparently White Ground made kits for the EBT in HOn3 some years back. Pete models the EBT during the 1920's so the buildings were still in pretty good shape. Since I model the contemporary EBT, I decided to model the buildings after extensive restoration.

To Roy,

The building you mentioned was patterned after a station on the late Whit Towers Alturas & Line Pine from an article in RMC. BTW, I enjoyed the youtube presentation of your Ghost River Railway. I saw all those acrylic bottles and your rocks are coming out great.
