Scenery - Structures
Welcome to the Ozark Belt Terminal Railway!
Greetings!
After stalking everyone else's work on here, I figured it was time I contributed as well!
Where is Jim Brown - I have a lot of brick streets to lay
I'm spending a lot of time on the streets at the moment. And I will confess to being a little concerned about how much still lies ahead of me.
"The road goes ever on and on..." Tolkien wrote and when I look at my plan of Green Town Illinois and consider how many miles of brick streets there are to model; "on and on" is about right if you multiply that by the nth degree.
New backdrop completed for layout
Hi, after several weeks I finished painting the back wall backdrop on my On30 layout, the Estrella & Sonora Grande RR:
The Buildings of Green Town Illinois
I have a confession to make. I like lists. Always have probably always will.
I like to catalogue and I like to plan. I'm one of those sad people who love spreadsheets and I can still remember the thrill I had when I first started writing databases.
Even as a boy I kept them. A list of all the books I had read, started in the back of a large red diary that I still have tucked away in a box somewhere. Throughout the years I have added to this list with every book I have read. It migrated across to journals and then a spreadsheet and now an Access database. There's a large number of Ray Bradbury books on that list, most of which have multiple entries.
The swamp Diorama
Hello Friends
I would like to show the progress of the Swamp Diorama build by my Friend Stefan Foerg from Germany. I've already a small Diorama from him and the Quality of his work is outstanding.
Train 54, Where Are You?
Mile Posts on the prototype railroads serve many important purposes. On model railroads they can serve equally important jobs if installed carefully.
Of these jobs, mile posts can tell a train crews where they are and help them determine how fast they're going.
Dirty ballast in yards
Hello everyone,
I am looking for some suggestions on how to make the ballast in yard/secondary tracks look grimy/oily/dirty as was often the case in the 60's up through even the 80's. Some places almost like the track was laid in an oil or mud pit as opposed to nice clean ballast around it, as you are use to seeing on the mainline. Attached is a photo of what I am talking about.
