​Worked on a gondola weathering project over the weekend. 

​Chicago & Northwestern 741078 is waiting at the "Three Dogs" scrap yard for another load.  Even on a model railroad, vandals can still find away to graffiti railroad cars. 

​"In this case, probably any new paint is an improvement on this well worn gondola!"

Running new Missouri Pacific MP15 on the layout.  The post merger paint scheme, (UP Yellow with Missouri Pacific lettering), fits perfectly with my layout era.

Completed office for the planned scrap yard.

Playing with Sculptamold today! 

This is the second scene on my layout next to the soybean complex(see previous blog entry's).  This area will have a MOPAC depot, (Used for MOW storage), and general store. Two wood kits structures that have been completed.  

Photos of the continued work on the layout:

Local switch job enters and exits the layout by removable "cassette" staging.  Loading/unloading shed has been added to the soybean elevator complex. 

WELCOME TO MY BLOG:

Never written a blog before but always enjoyed writing and sharing the hobby of model railroading with friends.  It's also a good motivator to keep working on the layout!  

My blog will cover the building and operation of my HO Scale Missouri Pacific Railroad switching layout in Western Arkansas.
