Well before I can get the Solace house into the vacant lot I have a few things to do. Solder in the drops for the track, solder the turnout in, weather the track, connect the switch lever and build the grade crossing.





stay tuned!!

A planting party sounds good,

You know I would get a lot more done if I didn't have to read all the challenge posts first.

Well I am making progress, put in the two power poles, and the styrene for the crossing. I am an old cheapy so I made the center culvert out of an old ball point pen tube. I will paint it when I am done with a little plaster work. Next I will weather the ties, put in the sidewalk crossing, some plaster and the wood crossing ties between the rails.
