Karl and Michael many thanks!

Some info on details that i am working on...

A vending machine from the 60s.


Gas pump designed (printing needs some tweaking in orientation...)

Many thanks Ron for the reply. Art Deco & Streamline moderne are my favorite styles! Actually it is the primary reason why i picked the Pasadena subdivision, ie being able to scratchbuild a lot of them for the layout.

Nice start there! Following with interest.

Many thanks Tom, glad to have you tagging along! Trying to figure out wood cuts for the remaining tables currently. I hope to get some work done soon.

Thank you all for the very kind words! I ll opt for an actual brand name then, many thanks for the suggestion Deem and James.

Impressive trestle there!!! What mike said... a real eye catcher.

Mike, Jerry, Philip and James many thanks!!!

James the height is 132cm (ie 52"). You mean lower level staging? If yes then this is a no go since i need all the area beneath the layout for furniture/desks etc.

As i was mentioning in a previous post, i am sort of downsizing on tracks as i go, given that what sounds good on theory might not be needed for my needs (solo operator). Feel free to chime in on this.

Very nice orchard there, i am also in favor of removing the trunks (that's the horizontal brown sprue like pieces right?)

Another day another trackplan revision. Hopefully improving things. I relocated the Diesel House once more... now to the center of the yard from the upper right corner. I placed an orange grove there in an effort to first, create the perception of a slightly longer mainline run with more negative space on that upper right corner, and second, to get the facility in a more accessible spot.

I also removed one yard track and one staging track. This would be occupied by the 2nd local freight. It seemed to me like a moot point to have 2 local freights (one eastbound one westbound) given that 99% of the time i ll be a lone operator, and given that the two locals were quite similar as trains (same motive power etc...).

Feel free to chime in with respect to these changes.
All the best
Yannis

this pans out to be a really good looking structure!

Thanks Tom on the 5" distance from the mainline piece of info. It will come handy in my scene compositions.

Curt and Craftsmankits many thanks!

Yannis,

Thank you for the compliment. The track behind this building is not a service track for Horwood Bros.

Tom

You are welcome . I noticed that it is not a service track, I was actually asking from the perspective of "distance from the mainline" (which is my concern when i am trying to compose a scene).

Same here! Looking forward to seeing updates.

Great work there, the roof is amazing!

Looking very nice! Quick question, is this the final placement relative to the tracks behind it?
