I wax and wane with my hobbies and model railroading is not exception. Usually the bug bites me again right AFTER all the fall train shows but this year I got an early start. There are 3 shows coming up over the next few weeks and I am starting my shopping list.
In the meantime, I've been spending my time working on scenery. I am not an artist and I always hesitate at this step which is why my layouts always are half complete. I've already ballasted and scenicked the Irwin yard. I am almost done with the East (Greensburg) staging yard and have started to ballast the track in Herminie with the coal spills. I finally installed the concrete retaining walls that support Rt 30 across the tracks on the west end of the layout. I have an idea how I want that hillside to look but not sure if I can get it just right. Of course, the light over the area burned out and I think I have to replace the fixture so I've stopped working there.
Pretty soon it will be time for some masonite for both the backdrop and fascia. I want to get the permanent waybill holders and Digitrax panels mounted, then I can finish the scenery to the front of the fascia.
