You're modeling streets in Philadelphia.  The hard part for you would be figuring out which pothole you should use to adjust the level! :trollface:

Not even Philly. Camden!

Little bit of progress lately. Actually, decent progress lately.

I printed and installed all the roadbed and ends. I decided to skip the center printed inserts since they don't matter. I also realized the problems with my printed in screw holes: they're too close to the ends, even after I redid them to move them in some I didn't feel like waiting for new prints so I just did it the old fashioned way. The ends are only screwed in so that they can be replaced if they break. The rest of everything is glued down.

Got the building put together. It needs another coat of paint and plenty more work, but it's coming along.

Lots still to do, but it's progress, and I'll take it.

After a few evenings of work I'm not at the place I would be an hour in if I used Unitrack... lol.





I think today might be "get it straight and glue it down" day.

I thought about that, but sometimes it's nice to hit the "easy button".

For $24 they freaking better!  Only $24USD? Down here I paid $32ASD which is about $16 of yours.  And yes they do come painted with all the little trays.

Ed This is my take on what would have been a small New South Wales engine depot. Still a work in progress but I have done it coming of the yard tracks. Depots here normally had open sheds, a coaling dock, ash pit and a water tank and cranes, and turntable. Some depots used a wye. This is on a Triple T-Track module and there are two more to the set plus a double with water supply dam.
