ATSF/BNSF San Jacinto District - 2.0

[chuck geiger]

For those about to rock I salute him. I have a great workbench and storage in a non-air conditioned workshop.
I could do that. Hmmm Yuma AZ Summer in The Shed. Now i have a portable AC unit. But the train room is
so much more comfortable and climate controlled. But I can't do the shop in the same room.

Layout work day 1.

Ooh!  Great idea for the use of a wire brush.  The last time I had my static grass applicator out, I had a breakthrough in the way I applied the grass.  So, I may go back and remove some previously applied static grass, too.  Thanks for the tip!

DFF love your new videos

Thank you, but you’re way too kind.  They’re just junk videos to post on TRW, to give an example of sound or action to my friends here.  I really cringe each time I post to YouTube, because the videos have to public to be able to show on TRW.  Now, back to the San Jacinto District!

Wow Chuck, that’s really coming together nicely!  Static grass still looks like some arcane magic from my perspective, and it looks like you’ve got it very well figured out.

How are the backdrop seams holding up so far?

I have one place where the mesh is peaking through from the tape, really small line. The grass took some time. There is a distinct difference from Scenic Express brands to WS.
As long as the applicator and grounding pin are close, no problem, I heard the arc snap a few times. Thanks Steve. Been working with blending real dirt.

I bought a set of Stanley wire brushes a few years ago and they are great. One is just nylon.

I'm digging the buried track look there, and the creek should be a signature.

So off to work on the layout, Weds afternoon through Saturday with a punch list. How do you track projects and forecast work to be done?
By top of mind or organized notes? Daryl on his new UP layout has a detailed list by date to accomplish and he has a massive undertaking.
I have a notebook with some sketched, info and notes from videos and a rough list.

I go into the basement and putter. Eventually progress gets made.
