Superior & Seattle Railroad Build

[S&S RR]

Another outstanding build John, looking good.

Thanks for stopping by the thread and the kind words.  I'm getting close to the point where I can plant my last two builds on the layout. The structures always look better with a proper background.

I removed the bridge over the track work  and took a picture of Mt. Aiden with both trestles in place.  Now for the foreground scenery and structures.

John,

Very nice.  I like the fall colors of the Aspen trees peeking through.  Also your trestles and rock work are fantastic.

Beautiful work. Great panoramic scene (as always on the S&S).

I can't wait to get the structures planted in the foreground.

Thanks for stopping by and the kind words.  As you go around the curve the fall aspens become dominant - I'm trying to match some scenes from photographs of my trips out West. One hillside pines dominant next hillside aspens dominant.

Beautiful work. Great panoramic scene (as always on the S&S).

Thanks John - It's going to be nice to have one area completed.

Awesome scene. I am starting to expect nothing less.

Thanks for the kind words.  Tomorrow, I'll be back at it - highly motivated right now to get this scene done and move on to the next. 

[S&S RR]

It was a special weekend on the S&S RR.  My wife had a baby shower for my youngest daughter that is expecting in May and she announced that we are having another Grandson.  My Grandson Aiden also has picked out a mountain on the S&S to be named after my newest Grandson. I was asked if it would be done by the time the baby gets here.    What a great excuse for working on the layout rather than the honey-do-list.

[S&S RR]

This morning I did a test fit of my last few builds to figure out the track pieces I need to order.  Since I had things in place I took a couple pictures to study and thought I would share where this scene is going.





The large rocks you see behind Brambell's will be 95% covered my talus when this area is complete.





I made a mockup of the coal facility that is planned for this area - it is two FSM kits combined.





A few small changes to the turnouts in this area so I thought I better get them ordered.

[jrmueller]

John - does that coal facility include FSM Bartholow coal? If so I'll be interested to see your build. Jim
