Beavis: "Heh, you said 'Package.'"

I'm making slow progress on a bunch of fronts on all this.

Today I painted the ground on the Meadow's yard modules.

To me, that is a beautiful image.

Jeff

Agreed.

But then... I like reference images, even if it's just for junk. This has been one of my favorites...

Been doing stuff here and there on the modules.

Tonight I sanded down the finish on the clay paving I installed last night.

It's coming together, but slowly.

Why must I be cursed with loving urban railroading? The countryside is so much quicker and easier!

You know, the requirement of 6-10' separation for social distancing lends itself to "negative space" modules... :lol:

No doubt, at some train shows, you've caught wind of certain individuals who, by dint of their lack of personal hygiene, were obviously early adopters of the social distancing trend.

That 7-11 parking lot looks about right, down to not having a curb cut for a driveway.

I mean, the funny thing is, that parking lot in real life IS a real mess!

More progress (copied from weekend update).

I HATE this stage where you're just waiting for glue to dry and everything looks terrible.



It dried eventually though, and I'm pretty happy. This is all still largely WIP FPO stuff, but it's nice to see it coming together.













But I think it turned out ok.
