Backdrop (printed murals) is up with some final touches to be done as buildings and other scenery is completed. Next up is the lighting and then trackwork layout. In some of the scenes I cut out the portions I needed and laid them against a sky blue painted backdrop.

I'm at the stage on my alcove expansion where I needed to think about what to do with the backdrop area and I thought that I'd try a painted backdrop.  The area is all together approximated 30 liner feet and I first thought about a printed backdrop like can be supplied by one of our fine sponsors.  I've got such a backdrop in the Matthews Freight Yard area, but with the cost I thought that I'd check out other options.

I may have just hit upon the easiest way to secure hardboard backdrops *ever* ...

Hello,

today I could show you a movie I made during the FREMO meeting.

Hi All,

Well thought it's time for another update on the progress on the JL&T.  Over the past week I have been working on the other major area on the north area of the top deck.  The JL&T Fuel Transfer Terminal (FTT), the FTT is a medium sized transfer terminal from rail to rail, rail to road, and terminal to industry.

The relevant video collection,  all in one place!

The older videos....

• Building the Barre Branch in Paper
• Barre Branch - First Run
• HO Scale Double Crossover
• First Run (Another First Run)

and the other layout threads.

Just so I can compete with pipopak

I have mentioned this place in other areas, but I felt that it would be favorable to add it as a separate blog entry. I visited here in 1983 and, although quite large at that time, it has grown quite a bit since then. It is located on the outskirts of The Hague (Den Haag), toward the Northwest just a few miles (kilometers).

The goal of my modeling efforts is to create a perfect little world.  There are a few obstacles to achieving my goal, namely careless project planning,  sloppy work habits and moving on the next thing before getting the task at hand completed.  Perhaps if I embarrass myself enough times by posting here, my work habits might improve.

Just a little something to show what's been going on...
