Because of my career, I've always had limited time for modeling.  I have tended to work very fast and try to get goals done in a few hours.  Ironically, now that I am retired, I still seem unable to slow down.  I decided to paint the backdrop and get it all done as soon as possible.  There is about 60 feet of 18 inch high backdrop to be painted so I got all my acrylic paints together and went at it with a vengeance.  I finished it in about 20 hours of work over about 4 days.

The plan was to put this in West Sacramento scene at the club but across the tracks a new project creates progress and a road. This may end up on ebay in the near future.

Greetings all. I have been working quite a bit on the new L portion of the Johnstown and Maryville Railroad. I added two new industries and just finished adding the town of Johnstown. While its not nearly completed, its far enough along to show the progress.

I used the Model Builder program from Evan Designs to make the brick street, then printed them on a color laser printer.
