Jerry thanks; I knew I had to do something to make it work.

Rich thank you; at least I know I'm in good company.

Philip bless you!!! Thanks; I may have over exaggerated a bit but was close.

Howdy Larry,

That little flat looks terrific. The weight fix was spot on. Nice job with the 4X4s.

Have fun,
mike

Light rolling stock will sure make a string derail. I didn't see that weight either. Your on it!

Rick · July 15, 2025, 06:44:23 PM

Larry, nice job incorporating the weight into the car.
Boards on top have good colors.

Larry C · July 15, 2025, 08:21:34 PM

Mike, Philip, and Rick thank you all so much.

Larry, great solution to the weight problem.

Larry C · July 16, 2025, 08:17:06 AM

Ron thanks. I do come up with a winner every once in awhile.Lol.

Moving right along:

Ordered a couple of small junk piles from Rusty Rail; while they're not SW they'll do fine for background details. This one is a couple of 55 gal drums laying on their sides with a sledge hammer laying on top. They were colored with chalks and clear alcohol.

This one is two drums stacked one on top of the other with a posts holding them in place. Also some cans of various styles surrounding the drums.

Next I'll probably start doing the scenery work around both buildings going from the track to the backdrop. After that I need to figure out my last, maybe final, building in the right back corner. As always thanks for stopping by and for your great comments/suggestions.

Rick · July 17, 2025, 06:50:11 PM

Larry, details always add interest to a scene and these do the trick.
I see you also toned down the gravel on the road and that looks better now.

Larry C · July 17, 2025, 08:05:10 PM

Rick thanks; much appreciated.

Jerry · July 17, 2025, 11:45:34 PM

Larry nice details. Sure makes a scene come alive.

Jerry

Larry C · July 18, 2025, 08:38:22 AM

Jerry thank you and like they say "it's all in the details"; whoever they are.

Hello Larry, things are really coming together. As far as to who "they" are- we are they and they are we. Make sense now ?

Larry,

Looking back at the rear of the buildings where you built the tall structure to hide the end of the printed panels, there's no need to build a tall building to hide the seam. With the additions of those fine structures you made, there's no need to hide the seams. My eyes fall on the fine looking buildings and details instead. Good work throughout.
