I’m just getting around to ballasting, my least favourite job. Two more loads for the local coming right up!

Nice scene, esp. the 88 suburban. I am still driving one of those.

Thats a lot of steam! Nice to see the soot details and the smoke on select locos.

Thanks! I have a fair amount of diesels on my display/storage shelves, but steam is definitely my favorite. Believe it or not, the soot above the stall doors was made with cheap dollar store makeup. (Thanks, mom, for suggesting it!) Since it was so affordable and I could wipe it off and throw it out if it didn't work, I thought I'd take a chance, and I'm very happy with the results.

Very nice, love the fence that adds depth to the scene to the backdrop. The cow fits in perfectly

I found some bridge bits in one of the boxes today and decided to scenic part of the duck under.
I’ll clean them up a bit then paint and weather them. Maybe I can blend a road into the backdrop when I get that far.

Good way to use some of the stuff laying around, the graffiti is a nice touch!

Is that an official Der Dog structure?

Hi Mike,
Assuming you're talking about the Whataburger? No, just 3D printed that I got from someone on eBay.

Nice...is that the same model engine on the poster as on the track?

Dave,
I don't think it is, but not sure. I think the one on the sign is a GEVO.

It looks a lot like the Der Weinerschnistle we had in Champaign. It was a hot dog joint that we townies called Der Dog...
