Steve's SOCAL BNSF layout

[logandsawman]

The backdrop color looks real good. I also enjoyed the video, you have lots of nice rolling stock. Thanks for the update, Steve!

Started doing some scenery around the the grain elevator and surrounding industries in between other jobs around the house....

Picked up this nice piece on eBay, not sure where it's going yet on the layout but I'll make room for it....

That looks really great. Nice score on the building too.

Bit of an update in between work, yard work and school weekends!

Been working on the scenery around the grain elevator and other industries, I put in a driveway and have to finish up the details, scnery and weathering.



Also been working on a construction project to add to the layout, I've started on a road that will be "under construction" along side the mains and sidings that will tie into two other roads that will already be complete. I'm still working on this so I only have the left side complete so far.

GREAT looking scenery, Steve. Thanks for posting an update!!

 

[steveparkinson]

Thanks for the feedback Gents, I got a bit more done last night. I'll try to get some more pics up today or tomorrow.

Outstanding work! I very nearly went with N scale cause you can pack so much MORE into whatever space you have available. I am very fortunate to be able to dedicate some serious space so I'm going HO, that and the arthritis would make manipulating that small of items that much mote difficult! Excellent design with the yard and the 'countryside' separated like that!

If I put mine in the garage I could only run it 6 months a year!

Thanks for the feedback "new guy", I went with N due to the limited space at the time. It can be frustrating working on items in N scale, especially couplers, wheel sets etc. If I ever move and get a dedicated room or basement I will most likely upgrade to HO scale too.

Got a bit more of the scenery done of the road "under construction" running parrallel to the tracks. Still need to add more details and weather, I'll try to weather and ballast the tracks tonight too. I also ordered some nice construction equipment, signs and scenery detail from ebay that should be coming in soon. Those should finish off the scene nicely.

One more.....



Excuse the mess in the background of the layout, need to clean that up big time!

 

[wombat457]

It is coming along very nicely Steve and from what you are saying, and have done, it is going to be fairly detailed scenery wise when completed. That is something I like to see.

Thanks Tony, hope to have some new pictures/updates coming soon.
