Hawks NEW "MHO Junction" layout

[TLOC]

I got side tracked.
Working on my modules instead of my layout. Did the road bed and now working on the tracks and wiring on one module.

If it’s model railroad related, you have not been side tracked!

Where do the modules fit in?

There's 3 sections, 1 will connect to any free-mo modules and it will connect to my 2 street running modules. They are build for shows at 43" and can be raised up to 56". For the free-mo, it can only be setup at an end.

Wow, already 3 months since my last post, so here's what's new:
I'm very busy with work every January and February, but still manage a bit of work.

1) For our NMRA Division, the yearly project is to build 3 cars (tank car, box car and a flat car from Tichy). The tank car was to be build as is, the box car we were adding some kit bashing (windows and doors) and the flat car we were doing as is, kit bashing (floor) and scratch for the detail. I was responsible for the project for the year.

2) Started doing scenery along my Hawkesbury yard, static grass, Martin Welberg grass and bushes and lots of other details.

3) Helping a friend design his swing gate.

4) Arduino electronics for turnouts, sound and cameras.

5) Enjoying my new friend....AI

See you all later...

Been working in my Hawkesbury yard installing grass for the last 8 days, and only half is done.
It has 3 layers, 1st is light green, 2nd is golden and the 3rd is dark green.
The first picture the grass looks dark, I'm having problems with the lighting, the second is better.

What have I been doing for the last 5 months???

Working on my crew lounge, work area and four shadow boxes (one for each season and time of day) to be inserted in the wall like the last picture which was created by AI to give me an idea for the crew lounge look.
Here are some pictures.

These 2 are AI produced with my cars to give me an idea what I will be doing.

This is the AI design I wanted to achieve.

Summer is almost over, so it will be time to go back to continue working on the layout.

Later all.
