No better way than to be being this blog than to start with Givens and Druthers.

Givens:

Thanks to Bill Brillinger and his excellent decal work, I now have my own logo and lettering for my Moosehead Western home road. So for the past few months I have been painting my loco's in preparation for the decals. However, this has now caused me to think about how I am going to number my locomotives. Let's just deal with the steam locomotives right now ( my first love ) and then deal with my first generation diesels later.

I have started the process of paining back drops! Clouds seam to be everyone fear factor so I show an easy way to paint clouds that takes it to a simple step by step process that anyone can do. the backdrops are not done yet (more to follow) but this is the first step in painting most backdrops. Also curtains are in as a light block and sound block the room is starting to take on a finished look. Hope you enjoy the video and  hope it will help you to as well.

When your layout is mostly paved surfaces, you have to make the pavement look real and interesting. I started the detailing of the pavement on my PoLA project layout.   (PoLA = Port of Los Angeles)

Hi all.

This was my work for today.

I still want to add some storage silos and a ciclone.

You may recall, I cut my own roadbed from 6mm closed cell foam.

I was not successful in creating a jig to do this job with slopped shoulders, so at the time, I shrugged my  shoulders and decided I would deal with that later. I kinda figured I might use sand or strips of wood or maybe even "ground goop" to shape the shoulders later.

Thanks everyone!!!

To All: I kitbashed this PRR Mail Storage Car (for transporting magazines and newspapers) by splicing two boxcars together. I painted and lettered the car. It is equipped with signal and air lines and high speed trucks for use in passenger trains. The model and prototype has double the brake components. Photo by Elvin Howland. Yours, Elvin Howland/E.
