Adventures in Track Weathering

I’ve started doing some experimentation with scenery and wanted to share some techniques that yielded results that I'm pretty happy with.  Keep in mind my layout is a mid-70's terminal carfloat layout that I strive to have a  “life on the edge of bankruptcy” look and feel with worn down equipment, marginally maintained rights of way, etc.  The goal of this experimentation was to create old, neglected trackwork.  If you are looking to depict Class I 4 track mainline the specif

Ops Session on the LVN

The Friday night group attends a number of operations nights on the LVN.  Here are some recent photos.

Ron and Dave are discussing the move to get the tank cars out of Husky oil.  They have a couple of drop offs that are located on the oil can located in the classification yard.

Check out my blog

I already have a running blog at Gentle Model Railroading . Please check it out.

I live in Ipswich, Suffolk, UK and have two model railroads on the go at the moment.

1. HO in the shed. Based on The East Tennessee and West North Carolina (The Tweetsie) although it is not narrow gauge. It is a shortline with just three locos and set just post-war in a run down state. This is just at the track laying and wiring completed stage

The sun actually came out on my way to work this morning!

Yep, the sun actually made it's appearance shortly after I got on the road at 6 AM. That meant I could actually see the bay from the Belt Parkway and the Verazano Bridge. It was a beautiful sight to actually see a few ships on the water for a change. Unfortunately one can't see the Bay Ridge carfloat aprons from the bridge or even from the adjoining Brooklyn Queens Expressway but you can't have verything.

N-Scale CSX Dixie Line Update

I just wanted to post a quick update on the progress of my N-scale CSX Dixie Line layout. This is a modern-era layout modeling CSX's super busy single track mainline from Atlanta to Nashville through Chattanooga. I have been a member of the MRH website since the early days, visit here often and immensely enjoy the online publication. For some reason I rarely post on these forums or blogs, but I wanted to share this update with the community because I owe a great deal of credit to Joe Fugate and all of the folks involved with Model-Trains-Video.com.
