I started my layout about a year ago, and it has now reached the stage where I feel I can start sharing a little

I made a free website at wix.com that shows a bit of an overview of the layout. http://www.wix.com/kengoudsward/gwtp

And just now decided that I'll do a bit of blogging as I go. Projects underway at the moment:

- custom paintjobs, decals and weathering for a few locos

- experimenting a bit on some boxcars to decide which technique I want to use on my locos for a decent fade-wash. I think I will try an alcohol based wash with a cream colored acrylic paint. (any feedback on this would be appreciated)

- need to weather and assemble some structures

- keep working slowly on scenery and try making some trees from scratch (especially those ones where you use wire in a drill)

more projects

almost forgot..

also currently working on

- electrifying a few of the harder to reach switches

- mounting my Digitrax Zephyr nicely and making a nice control panel for the above mentioned switch controllers (hopefully with bicolor LED indicators) and a switch to control whether my removable testbench track section gets DC power or is used as a DCC programming track.

- upgrading motors and adding decoders to some vintage locos
