Jeffrey, thanks for getting this started. Nice shot, BTW.

I have made a bit of progress in the "new" room. The old yard has completely disappeared and a new Sheetrock backdrop is in and awaits painting.

In progress photos:

I also had a bit of an accident while installing the downspouts from the flat roofs on the powerhouse a couple weeks ago. I had an octagonal plaster one finished and setting where it would end up being. Unfortunately I managed to knock it over and it broke. That wasn't a huge problem as the break was clean, but while gluing it back together I dropped it again. This time to the concrete floor. The remains are sitting in front of the powerhouse. Thanks to the generosity of a member of this forum, a box arrived earlier this week and very nice round chimney was inside. It was primed and colored with artists pencils as the main building was. I think it looks even better than the original!

Hi,
At the first weekend of march,our team"Rivet counting is fun" introduced our L-shaped,15'x12' modular layout "city limits" at "OntraXX 2012",the european master modelrailroad exhibition.

To be invited to this event means"you made it...".

30 exxelent layouts with many several topics were shown in the fantastic"Dutch railroad museum" in Utrecht,Nederlands.

Great work Frank, I stay tuned to see you guys in Switzerland during the 15the US Railroad Convention.
 


Work has begun on my Pepsi Plant. Taking the Magic Pan Bakeries and turning it into a Pepsi bottler/distribution center. Think I'm gonna move my top trim piece up some to expose more brick above the loading dock doors. Still need to trim the trim down too.

the handrails from intermountain for a cp es44dc came but the front walkway railings do not match up to the NS mounts. So the NS will have to be painted. But the side railings are 99.9% right except for 1 friggin stanchion on conductors side.

NYSW has 2 units in for front railing repairs

If the weather would be worse, I'd get done more on the layout. Hoping to bike ride with the Mrs, tomorrow, on the old NYS&W main, between Sparta Jct. and Warbasse Jct. Looks like everybody's making good progress-keep up the good work, everybody!
