(Maybe a tad early, but somebody had to start it...)
Here are some progress pics of my under-construction Iron Belt layout. I applied the first coat of latex over the bare areas last weekend, then decided to add a few extra industrial sidings before going any farther. Please excuse the clutter but, after all - this IS a construction zone!
Here is a view of the Northeast corner with its initial coat of latex. That rectangular depression will eventually be a slag pit, that's why I have a loader parked in there.
Steel mill 'throat' tracks with new roadbed underneath (finally):
A view of new industrial sidings, looking south along main line on east side:
Same area as above, looking northward:
Newly-latexed southeast corner, showing new siding toward right:
A view of the rotary dumper lead tracks, after installing roadbed underneath:
An arial view of East Minister, the only scenicked part of the layout as of today:
...and that's it from me, for now...
