This is a rialorad that was originally by my house though was turned into a bike path known as the Prarie Path (see image below)

Here is a map of the old railroad

I was looking at different ways to do this building.  What to paint first, how to mask, etc. Having found this tape earlier, I thought I would give it a try.  The tape is just sticky enough to stay in place, but came off really easy.  I used my chopper to get nice 90 degree corners and consistent tape length.  I painted everything red first, then masked the brick by cutting tape and overlapping.  The edges of the cement of the building make great guides for the tape.  All in all it worked great with very little under-spray to touch up afterwards.

Lou Adler's Sierra, El Paso & Northeastern Model Railroad. Great layout is a limited space. Lots of operations. It does not have to be big to work. 5 guys keep busy for over 3 hours and we did not finish the schedule.

In the early to mid 1900's small municipal power plants where a regular Sight around the country and world near train tracks as they relied on coal to create electricity 

I have been working on my layout to make it even more bulletproof.

I replaced commercial turnouts with handbuilt ones with fast Tracks tools.

I replaced my PM 42 with a PSX-4 and a RRAmpmeter hardwired into the circuit.

I added some backdrop scenery.

Also added a temporary extension for the tail track at the Christina Mine.

Thanks for looking.

More work on the track in New Castle.

You want to put signals on your layout.  Stop and think.   I was reading a very good article about signals in the DO magazine.  LIGHT BULB turned on. 

I suffer from red pimentos. To make it simple my wife has always took me what color tie to wear with my suits and dress shirts.  You know guys.

Mortimer is finished and this is the next episode in the C&A saga - Vezmar Mining and Redpale Creek.

This section spans the window wall on the upper deck and links Spangler Gap to the outskirts of Atherton.
