Superior & Seattle Railroad Build (Volume 3) Started 7/27/19

[S&S RR]

I had the Beach Farm diorama back in location on the layout yesterday to visualize the landforms in position and play with the location of some of the out buildings. I also backed a train into the siding to check load heights and get ready for the final detailing on the workbench. Here are a few photographs that I took for change markup.

Great build !

It will be a lovely scene, John.  Those structures work so well against the backdrop.

Cheers, Mark.

That barn is simply spectacular!  Terrific job!

Thank you for the kind words and for following along.  I have some work to do with the valiance lighting to get good pictures. The dark roof on the farmhouse is getting washed out and overpowered by the lighting, for example.

John,
Great build !

Thank you, Tommy - I have lots of details to add.  I needed to get it in place and shoot some pictures to do a better job of placement on the workbench.

Thank you, wow speaking of backdrop I have to crawl up there and finish it.  I have very sore muscles today from working in the yard. I think that job is going to be put off for a couple days.

Thank you my friend.  The Beach family can sit on the porch and look out over the town of Vansel, and that great Bob Butt's Avram's build. On second thought, I have never met a farmer that spent much time sitting on the porch. It will probably be viewed from the seat of a John Deere Tractor.

Thank you so much for the kind words.  I can't wait to see how it looks with the backdrop finished and framed by the scenery in the farm yard.

John,


Really?  John Deere!!!  C'mon, if it ain't red leave it in the shed!  One thing I can guarantee you, there are no John Deere green tractors on my NY farm.  Plows, absolutely: grain drill, yes; manure spreader; h*ll yes.  Tractors, not a one.  Do I need to send you some red tractors?  I have 'em in 1:1 and HO...    (I'm only sending the HO ones, shipping the others is outa my budget!)

Now that's funny.  Guess who worked for John Deere - they actually paid for my Masters Degree Program. It appears that the Western Beach Family members are going to be rebels. I have been painting the tractors with official John Deere Green paint. I also have a Ford 8N model because that is the tractor my dad owned. We may have to ship in a red tractor in by rail.
