Newport & Rock Falls: Another Retro Micro-Layout

[wm3798]

I've concocted a new sky board using the sky paper I bought a couple weeks ago.




And finished trimming out the access hatch with an old cabinet handle and a magnet.




Time to start going through the inventory.

The Newport and Rock Falls served as the centerpiece of the N Scale Hi Rail booth at this year's N Scale Weekend in Altoona.



It garnered a great deal of attention.


The layout, unfortunately, has developed a couple of minor glitches that I'll need to work out.  The lift bridge is no longer functioning reliably, and the Christmas lights around the station roof aren't working.  I imagine that with all the jostling of moving the layout hither and yon has led to these inconveniences, but fortunately, they did not hinder the operation of trains.  They ran for hours on end along with the various flashing and flickering lights.
There were many oohs and aahs.

I texted @DKS throughout the day to let him know how much folks appreciated his work.

I'm glad you are in contact with DKS. A big fan and miss him lots.

A little something I tossed together last night.  Send flowers while they're still with us, friends.

Lee,
Thanks for posting the video. Always nice to see the work of the wizard.  I had many of those buildings and vehicles on my layouts from when I was a kid.  Amazing to see what can be done with them in the hands of an expert modeler.
