Hey everybody, link to my latest video showing the temporary workbench setup I've got for the next couple months while we look for a house. Just finished taking one of my old Blue Box units and adding truck lights, illuminated number boards, marker lights, and the headlight. I'll have a couple photos up soon and then a workbench update in a couple weeks once I get enough stuff done. Anyways, thanks for watching as always, and link below.

I am getting ready to build the Walthers Water street Terminal and I really want to take my time and make an exceptional building.  I did a search on the subject  of painting/weathering brick and there is already a ton of info on this forum concerning this. I was just curious if there is a general consensus on what technique works the best? I know that the question is somewhat subjective but I figured I would ask anyhow and see what responses come back. Perhaps there is a new technique out there that is not covered in this forum already.

Made a bit more progress at Gavilon.
I made a final decision to have the tank cars be unloaded rather than get loaded since this is a small distributor.
So I made a concrete pad with hoses for unloading the cars.

Then I figured I needed a pumphouse to get the material from the cars to the storage tanks?

This blog will follow the progress of the new layout I'm planning. As with my former layout, this new layout will be a prototype freelanced layout based on the N&W Pocahontas District between Williamson, WV and Bluefield, WV. I appreciate your comments and suggestions, and look forward to having you accompany me on the journey.
