Back in the Saddle again! GB&W layout update

Hey gang !

              I have posted the most resent progress on my construction of my Green Bay and Western on Youtube. Back in January I was involved in a auto accident which affected my mobility and my manual dexterity so I was not working that much on the layout.

 Construction is moving along and I will be working harder during the next couple of months to prepare for our November open house layout tour.

thanks Paul B

 

water

Hey Gang!

     What's the best way to model deep water?..I want to make the water for my GB&W Fox River Crossing and would like it to be over 1" thick.  I was looking at Envirotex light and multi pours.Is there anything better out there?

Also will the material attack the pink foam river edges?

thanks Paul B

a little road construction and Scenery

Hey gang

                I have been busy working on the railroad adding this road and a little scenery.  The roads are made from styrene with auto body filler to smooth out the sides. I still have some airbrushing of the tire marks to do so I can complete scene!

thanks  for looking Paul B

Are you mocking me!

Mocking up some foam core buildings  to make sure everything fits.

This is the Green Bay & Westerns Norwood yard roundhouse and back shops,  This yard is the main focus on my layout everything starts out from here.
