Thank you for the kind words - I believe that the backgrounds really make our structure models pop.

Terrific job John!  That's going to look absolutely fantastic when the scenery is finished and there are loco's and rolling stock on the tracks.   ;)


Thank you, there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes, actually underneath the layout, to get those locomotives rolling.

Thank you my friend.  I really enjoyed this build.  Today, I moved the model back to the workbench and added some dirt so that I could get going with the final detailing.

As I mentioned above, I added the first layer of dirt to the baseboard around the coaling tower today.  Here are a few progress pictures of the process.

So the final detailing has been complete on my workbench.  I will add some more detailing and do some touch up once this structure is on the layout. The big thing is to add the scenery materials but I always do that when they are on the layout and I can make it fit the big picture.  So here is the last progress pictures from the workbench.

You will notice that I did one final lighting test while it was on the workbench.  My fingers got in the way - I was holding the wires on to the battery. :-[

It looks like a fish story is being told in this scene.
