Weekend Photos - 2/24/17
Happy Friday!
Made a lot of progress on that back corner last weekend! Nice to take some pics & have actual scenery
Started working on the road into town & the passenger platform area as well. This week, I plan to get the rest of the hillside finished along the back & do some ballasting
Early postwar looks very realistic if placed in the right setting -
NS ES44DC 7544 leads 213 westbound through Wernersville, PA on the Reading line
The Conrail heritage unit sits outside the engine shop in Bluefield yard
NS SD70M 2588 (1 of only 10 non flared radiator SD70Ms on NS) leads an eastbound manifest through Shawsville, VA on the Christiansburg District
NS 188 heads eastbound at Coopers, WV with Dash-9 9417 leading & the Interstate heritage unit trailing
N&W 611 heads northbound through Jamestown, NC on the Piedmont Mainline
A shot you can no longer get now - NS 12G ducks under the not long for this world PRR signal bridge at CP PORT w/ Dash-9 9393 leading

Re: Weekend Photos - 2/24/17
The layout looks great, Christopher. You've gotten more done in a week than I've achieved in a year...or more... I still haven't gotten around to replacing the dead power-brick resulting from the minor flood last Fall, and I'm really growing unhappy with the lighting over the layout. I need to look for some robust alternatives.

With this early Spring I fear layout progress will slip further.

Christopher! You did something to your track. That is the best job of coloring FastTrack rail I have seen yet.
Sure beats what Lionel did with early Fastrack.

The second photo; obviously top-quality wine, aged in the tankard!

Thanks Lucas!
Wayne - I used the Woodland Scenics rail paint pen. Makes a world of difference

Christopher, thank you for answering the question unasked. Now I have to get one.
But not direct from Woodland Scenics!

It costs $67 to Fedex a paint pen? Does Krusty the Clown personally deliver it?

Testors has a line of weathering markers that should be easier to find:

There are three sets of "weathering" colors including one set specific to railroad track weathering. I've seen them in Michaels and Hobby Lobby and I have used them on my projects:

Re: Weekend Photos - 2/24/17
Thank you, Chuck.
I am happy you like red rust for your rail. Here in the Sonoran desert rail rusts to a dark color like I see on Christopher's layout.
My local ACE hardware carries Woodland Scenics products. They always tell me, "If we don't have it, we can get it."
And there are lots of other choices if I want it delivered to my door. America is already great.

Chuck, what does your track use for a third rail?

Re: Weekend Photos - 2/24/17
The Testor's product is a three pack with three "shades" of rust. I picked the lighter one because of the "scale" effect. I also assume it's always a bright sunny day on the layout
That's Atlas HO Code 83 flex track. The two rail is also Atlas O two rail flex. I like it better than anything else I can find that isn't hand laid. I haven't found any loco's or rolling stock that bottoms out on the ties either.
I wanted to use N scale for the third rail but it's too small to handle and I worried about the ampacity of track that small.
