Thanks for all the encouraging words everyone!

Karl, Might be worth contacting Ken Crump and seeing if he's going to run off a few more.

I've been working on the layout a little bit over the last couple days. I ran into an electrical issue that took a bit to figure out. One of my Tortoise switch machines was drawing so much current none of the rest of them would move at all. No noise or anything from them. Once I figured it out I replaced the machine and now I can get back to working on the visual stuff instead of the electrical stuff.

Update coming soon..once I have something interesting to show.

WOW !!!! I just stumbled upon this thread today..and I am impressed.
All of the structures look perfectly constructed, roads flow seamlessly
together, and ground cover ties it all together. I was hoping to see
some of your layout pictures and I will definitely be following along on
your progress. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Rich!

Small redundant update to anyone who's been following my Sewalls Foundry thread. In the interest of continuity I'm crossposting some of the photos from that thread as I installed the structure on the layout.


I added the concrete for this area. Same technique as previously mentioned...plaster of paris...gray chalk paint and weathered with ground down charcoal briquettes.


I installed this structure..it was built using the main wall castings from RailroadKits for Sewalls Foundry. I haven't added any details yet but it will be busy.


This shot shows how it will tie in to the rest of the layout.


I started working the banks of the little river. I added the basic ground cover here as well but I didn't take a picture yet.

Small update for now...I need to work on a few of the smaller details then I can move past the track and onto the front area of the layout.

Thanks for following along!

Looks great Steve...the hills dwarf the structures - as they should and often don't...yours looks perfect!


Great coloring, as always, particularly the worn concrete. I'm looking forward to the details and the river.
