Got a little more work done this morning.  The throat is fully installed.



Everything beyond the rerailers is temporarily installed, so again, no CSX track laying jokes.

also check the alignment of the left track going into the yard .. there appears to be a good kink by the switch

If you've ever thought of doing G scale and have the resources (and spousal support) to do so, give it a shot!  So far my whole enterprise has been a hair under a grand, and that includes the garden materials too.  I'm very thankful to Russ for the track donation, though, because without it I'd be on the other side of four figures.  Still, track deals can be had on eBay.

No modelling time of late due to the usual hectic end of school year schedule, but I have managed to get decals on the second of two boxcars for my Provincial Museum Train:

Yeah, they make a hell of a difference.  I used #1 scale Kadee couplers on mine:

I got a Walthers Union Station finished up as a custom build. It was the clients idea to highlight random blocks with a slightly different color, and I think it worked really well to subtly add interest to the walls.

[MichaelWinicki]

Whoa!

That station is so cool!

Thanks! It was an enjoyable build, the Walthers kit is really well engineered.
