Maine definitely inspired me. Who can guess what's next? ::)

Uhhhhh......   no.  But it'll probably be something major.   :o

We have a winner...kind of...switching back to HOn30. Dave Frary's endorsement of the running quality of the little minitrains sets pushed me back where I wanted to be. Visiting the WW&F 1:1 scale display helped too. Track is ordered, engines here.


BTW, anyone in the market for a perfectly good Digitrax system?

Peco HOn30 track is painted, dry brushed, spiked down and wired up. Trains are again running.

John,

Great news in trains running. The track looks good.

Did some landscaping in the corner in front of the Hotel. I still plan to add a layer of static grass and a bunch of details, vehicles, etc. I think I'll add a little more visible support for the little concession stand that looks a little precarious despite the boulder it rests upon and the single piling lost in the shadows. I've also got metal railing to match the curve of the lighthouse "pedestal". I'll try to remember to hold the camera a little more level - sorry for any seasickness.

I came real close to cracking open Fos' Printers Row, but decided to landscape instead. Soon...all of these build threads have me inspired.

My next burst of landscaping may come as soon as tomorrow. We'll see what the family comes up with for me in the meantime.  :)

John,

The new scenery looks fantastic. Scenery really gives us a sense of something actually being accomplished.

Looking good.

Got some more scenery down. Ballast and glue is still wet so some color may lighten up a bit. I also got my walk around throttle from GML installed. Still need to get the tideline consistent, add some seaweed in the rocks, railings, etc, etc...but the ground cover on this module is essentially done. Always room for details, but it's nice to step back and see.

John,

The new scenery looks really good. I love how to tied the landscape to the inlets area.
