Scenery Update

I was inspired to add some more scenery by a recently discovered artifact from my previous layout.

IAIS's West End - Don't need a doctor, just a bunch of nurses

A couple years ago I set out to find models of HO scale anhydrous ammonia wagons, called "nurse tanks", such as those shown below, from http://daltonag.com/dnn/daltonag.com/Portals/0/DNNGallery/uploads/2015/4/16/WN%20Series.jpg :

TSR - Lots of White right now

Some more quick shots

The layout goes from Room #1 ( single level ) to room #2 via grade ( No-lix )

Franklin ( my scenery crew ) works on the cardboard strips. We went to Costco and they gave us large sheets of cardboard they use on the pallets. We ran them through the table saw for strips.

A Very Ambitious Task....

....the CN holiday train got me thinking, I have become a much more advanced modeler and would like a challenge. So I have thought of the idea to use black light/glow in the dark paint to represent the lights. I am now working on gathering photos of the train (then models and paint). If anyone has clear views of the sides and front of  engine and cars along with road numbers. I hope I can succeed on this project and will keep everyone posted. 

TSR Industrial park - layout update

First let me say my camera has been making funny noises for the past few months. I found out today that it's the pictures I have been taking screaming to get out of the camera. I am sure you know how that goes.

It's actually almost been 1 year since I last posted on the layout, and we are progressing nicely toward our two year goal, though some months are busier than others.

Crossroads for sound

Looking for some help and advice from you guys. I model a small short line here in North Texas called the FWWR. My mediums size HO scale layout is based on an industrial park that they work. They use small GP class locomotives, GP7U, GP38AC, GP38-2, GP38-3, GP40, GP40-2, GP50 and 2GS14B. So I am trying to build up a fleet of custom engines to use on my railroad, Atlas, Genesis, Kato, etc. I currently have 2 locomotives with Tsunami's installed, one factory and one custom. I have collected several Tsunami's for future installations on the bench.

New video

Hi.

I added a new video about my layout and about rail weathering.

Sorry, it is in Portuguese, but I would like to share it any way.
