I was on shift Saturday and Sunday this week, given I work 48 hour shifts, I didn't get any train related stuff done until ingot home today (monday).
That being said, I did start to glue some foam down for some of the terrain work on one of my oNeTrak modules.
I also took a pair of readers digest crap covered hoppers, and converted them into readers digest crap, that can actually be used. They still look like crap, but I may continue to work them just for ahits and giggles.

Those covered hoppers don't look much worse than the old Deluxe Innovations (V-Line?) cars.  As "runners" they'll probably work fine in a train.

Finally got my add-on set to complete the train that I rode in.  Just in time for T-Trak at Altoona!   :D

Looking very nice!  I notice no big concave meniscus on the edges of your "water" nor resin flowing up into all the shoreline details.  What product did you use??  Did you apply your static grass after or before your resin pour??  Some construction info would be beneficial to many of us.  :D

Cheerio!

Thanks! I used Woodland Scenics deep pour water in the murky flavor. It did creep up the banks, but interestingly enough only on the tall ones opposite the tow path. I came back after it set and covered those spots with more ground cover. All static grass came after. For the clumps at the waters edge, I put a dab of gloss medium directly on the cured resin and applied grasses on top of the water.
