Most excellent tug & barge.....look forward to seeing them Saturday. 

Thanks Greg, we did have fun Saturday. You were very good and only ran, your loco, at Greg Speed for just a little while.

A fun Saturday was had by all.....I am really attempting to behave with the throttle, but sometimes the spirit takes over and I just can't help myself.

We did have fun for sure.

I just checked and no forum member's name is on the "soon to be departed/planted" list for this grave yard.

Today, I worked more on the grave yard and surrounding area. I added more weathering to the tomb stones using Floquil Aged Concrete. When dry, I weathered some stones with AK Interactive Slimy Grime Light.

I planted three of Kris Cutler's super trees to the area. I planted a large oak tree and positioned it so the branches hung over the fence and created a very shady area. Hence the slime on the stones.

I have a dead tree and a large tree limb broken off and hanging over the fence.



A birds eye view of the church and grave yard.

I also ballasted the two added tracks in front of the church. The ballast is Arizona Rock ballast for CSX. I sprayed the ballast with wet water and aded a generous application of Matte Medium. It should be dry by tomorrow morning.



Finished for now. Just need all the scenery to dry so I can add more.

Very nice scene Tom. I like the asymmetry of the graveyard.. Reminds me of a older graveyard.

[ReadingBob]

The slimy green is a perfect touch!
