Here are a few photos from my layout taken since my last blog post...

Continuing the theme of roads, this time we are looking at all the details that bring them to life:

I stepped up and purchased my first DSLR camera. I am looking forward to trying out some focus stacking software soon. Here are my first few attempts with something other than an IPhone camera.

Day 3 (and 1 & 2)

Working on one of the many projects I've got underway. I allow myself no less than 15 minutes a day working on my hobbies.  Sometimes more but never less. It might mean I can only sand on small piece of wood but I get 15 minutes! I also have several projects underway to help meet time and interest constrains.

In a recent topic, I posed some questions on the size of ties for the handlaid portion of the layout. (http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/27181) All my turnouts will be built on PC board ties. This is for economic and practical purposes. I find handlaid turnouts to be superior in operation to commercial turnouts, though I have no experience with Walthers or Micro Engineering turnouts. 

The track next to the storage facility/parking garage is buried right to the top of the ties. So that was tonight's project.

Heres the location.

This part is done, at least for now! There is still some details that will need to be added but I will move on to something else, the paper recycler behind.

the tree have just been inserted and are not glued in place, it was only to get a feel for the view.

Below are pictures of the scene complete with cars!
