Superior & Seattle Railroad Build

[S&S RR]

I planted over a 100 trees on the S&S today. Here are a few pictures of the locations.

John...

The dead and down fuel on the ground is a really great part of the scene.

In the west this is a major part of what a forest looks like.  It is also the fuel that makes our forest fires make the national news. It is so dry here that that fuel of downed trees can stay around for ten to twenty years.

Thanx

Thanks - the scene is modeled after the many photographs of taken on trips to your beautiful part of the country.  Finding natural materials that are the right color, size and texture is also a very fun part of the hobby for me.  Thanks for following along.

Thanks for stopping by the thread, I'm taking a couple days break to spend time with my family but I will be back at it the first of the year. I'm really looking forward to building the trestle that will be in the foreground of the scene in my last pictures.

I can't get the picture out of my mind  of that Siekirk feller roamin' around Michigan bendin' over to
look at concrete!!
Bet the l'il grandma's were ratin' his butt!!   

Oh, yeah - we're supposed to to be  talkin' 'bout model railroadin', ain't we??

I spend a lot of time looking and taken pictures - it keeps me out of trouble.

Doesn't that depend on what you're takin' pitchers of?

I guess you have a point - it depends on how bad I want to stay out of trouble.

The last couple weeks have been a time of showing the layout to friends and family. I always come up with new plans and ideas as I talk through my plan.  Now,  it's time to get back at the building.  Progress pictures to follow - when progress is made .
