A bit more progress this week on two new buildings for Nelson yard...





Lights and finishing details still to go.

Have a great weekend!

It runs!  Apologies for the garish color tone.  Temporary lighting abounds on the AC&Y right now.

No modeling for me this week. I've stepped away from modeling for a while to clear my head. So, for sh!ts and giggles, I did something completely different, although tangentially related:

What's wrong with this picture?



The only Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines N scale engines produced by a manufacturer were the Atlas GP38s (no extended cab). They came in three numbers: 2001, 2005, 2008. Naturally since I model the PRSL I purchased all three.

Later as used models hit eBay, I secured 3 more. Unfortunately, all were road number 2005. So, I now have (1) 2001, (1) 2008, and (4) 2005s. If I ever get my hands on appropriate decals (the ones I have are not the same height) I will fill in the group numbers.

Other than JFRTM I've found another project.  This is Villa La Paz near Keene CA.  The prototype nestles near a horseshoe - which I happen to have available...But first I need to build it.  This is the main building, there are
two smaller satellite structures which I suspect were kitchen and laundry in the facilities' TB sanatorium days.



And of course it has an interior:





Now for some paint to block unwanted light, and more building.

Diving into a new adventure head first! 

Today I bought a 4x8 sheet of raw endplates and cut them down to size.  Tomorrow I'm going to start turning this:

Those new sides (and the correct order) make a huge difference!  Can't wait to see it finished.

Finished a couple more of Raspten’s vehicles. Beauties from the late 1930s - 1936 Ford 4-door sedan (darker gray) and 1938 Plymouth 4-door.
