Well the paint on the awnings is drying and so on to something else.  Last detail stuff on the passenger car and add people.

It looks kinda funny to see a passenger car withOUT steps on either end.

Dave...

They had all platform entries.  There were no street grade stations.  It is still that way.  But yes it is a little weird.  Also....... no one makes such a car end that I can find......... Sooooo scratch it   ! ! !   They really aren't tough to build.

Thanx for looking in.

Interesting technique in the awning supports. Looking good.

So today is either the last day of winter or the half first day of spring.  Either way I called this my winter project.

I got the back drop done and the loco painted.  Still some more small stuff before Saturday and the first division showing.  I'll get it evaluated and see what the judges say....... then shine it up for the Regional in June.

Waddaya think   ? ? ? ? ?

Looks fantastic, as I was scrolling back and forth between the original and your project I was thinking to myself, self this would look even better if they were both in black and white, and just happened to scroll a bit more and poof there it was.

Very impressive.  In the black & white perfect.

Wonderful job Bob.

I think the sun is in the wrong position! Can you move it just a little to the right? (to the right? Get it?)  : )

[bparrish]

So I am presenting this to the division level evaluators. 

Understand......... in the NMRA.......... you can go up in level........ division to region.  That is to say, you can judge up but you cannot judge back down.

So I am presenting on Saturday, this diorama for judging for Prototype Modeling.

Here are the helicopter views of the module.
