Layout Update Winter 2022, Pt. 1

I was reminded this week that I haven’t added anything to the site for nearly a year. (!) My how time flies…I haven’t been idle during this time, just busy enough with family things and NMRA division business that the blog ended up taking a (distant) back seat.

So, without any fanfare and in no particular order the following are some of the projects I’ve been working on lo these many months:

Scenery was extended from the Lycoming bridge scene westward to Newberry junction. This was only a short section of the railroad, but by completing this area, there was no longer any open benchwork anywhere on the railroad. I also filled in the open benchwork leading to Newberry yard with foam. This will be more urban scenery and will be completed at some future date.

Foam base installed toward Newberry yard.

 

Base layers: cardboard strips covered with plaster gauze with ground goop over that.

 

Adding backdrop detail.

 

Backdrop done.

 

3-D scenery added.

 

Completed scene with fence, track ballast, etc.

To be continued…
