Thanks, Sheldon.  Those decals that you used on that kit look pretty nice too.
Are they pre-weathered or did you do that ?  I use pictures that I cut from my wifes many
magazines.  I sand the back-side so the printing doesn't show through.  I use white glue
to attach them to my wood structures.

Here's what I've been doing for the last month or so...more scenery.

















That's pretty much it for now, more to follow.

You've really got a nice looking 'crossing' scene going there.
Are the signs decals, or what ?  They look hand-painted in 1/87scale

The signs look great.  Now take some 220 grit sandpaper, or finer, and lightly sand over the
signs.  That'll give them a nice weatgered look.

Also:  The previous "yard office" you put up, is that an AMB product ?

Found it on Youtube.  Search "Peacemakers".  Pilot episode at the 1:20 minute mark.
Wish I knew how to 'cut and paste' videos.

Hi Terry, I believe I saw that same episode.  It was on about my bedtime and didn't stay
up to watch the entire episode though.

Do you remember a limited run series starring Tom Beringer (sp) called "The Peacemaker"?
It may have been just "Peacemaker" without "THE".  The opening scene of every episode showed
a Shay pulling into the station.  It's been a while but it could've been ten or twenty years
ago.

Those little buildings look like some of the builddings I've been in before.
Your 'weathering' is excellent !

Thanks for posting.

Lookin' good Sheldon, I like the way you weather 'wood'.  Is that wood or plastic, the grain
looks HO scale.

I'm just about finished with my 'trackside' liquid industry.  Still have to work a bit more elevation
for the 'loading dock'.

Well, I finally finished my 'Covid' building project.  I still haven't a clue if it'
going to be a brewery, distillery, or a pickling factory.



I still have to put the 'landscape' underneath the whole thing yet.



...and more pics from different parts of my layout.









Of course the roofs are removeable.

WOWZA !  Looks like you've been more than busy !  Weathering individual ties is tedious.  I tried once
on a section (3 Feet) of track.  Now, I can say I tried it.  That's the one thing that 'ties' an entire layout together (no pun intended).  With the new vegetation, it's really looking good. 

Thanks for the pics Sheldon.

A little more done on my unidentified building.  I've got the top (receiving area) framed
out.  The will be a small 'office' on the 'top' floor.



Here's a few more views:





...with the roof on.




The entire building will be on a tailing spur added to the upper level.

"Click" on the 'Parts and Service' icon at the top of the home page.
You should be able to find what you need if it is available.

At about 1:12 there's a pretty realistic figure in the prone position on the floor.
Nice tour.  Thanks Terry.
