One Module at a time.

I will post to this construction blog as the modules are completed. Currently I do not have a layout room, but expect to have one completed spring 2015.

Since a very long time this very nice small Japanese steam engine model is in my stock and never it was in use.

I'll keep a few more photos of my builds and loco roster in this blog for my N scale Arizona & California layout.

Ok guys so here will be the new thread chronicling the Layout Expansion to the existing shed that holds the JL&T.

​The primary purpose of the extension is to house the contents of our current garage attached to our home, this is being converted to a therapy/playroom for our eldest son Lachlan who is autistic and intellectually disabled.

Thanks for the positive comments guys .

The water was made using Dave Frary's methods as outlined in his DVD on making waterways. The first thing I did was to paint the riverbed a flat black. Then  I mixed up some acrylic paints using charcoal, Campground, (which is a black green) and a small amount of cerulean blue. Using a small amount of water I used a China result brush and Dabbed the paint on the the riverbed.

While summer takes a -short- break in Germany, I had a little time to spend on my layout. This weekend I managed to finish the grade crossing and some basic ground cover on the Red-Rock section.
I also painted the future track side transfer and depot building using an airbrush and flat gray acrylics.

You have to hold everything in place before you put the water in.
