I continued working on Spring Grove today after a hobby shop run for more brick sheet.

Looking good! I particularly love those tracks in the "alley" between the buildings.

I like the puddles of water at the RR crossing. Where are you going to get the teeny tiny lettering for the crossbucks?

[Philip H]

@OldEastRR - not sure what Adam will do, but Microscale has N scale crossbuck decals in both modern and early styles.

Pretty sure that's just wet paint.....

My camera snapped a picture today just a couple seconds too soon today and then it died.  I will have to venture back later to see if I can catch this power another day.  I'm pretty sure I've never seen it on this line before....

Rail line purchase or merger?

Get that ***** outta here.

Also, I saw your email about the boxes. I haven't forgotten. Just been a busy week!

If someone wants to send me a CF7 or 2, or some GP16's they might disappear.  My birthday is Oct 31 if anyone is wondering 

No problem on the boxes, I need to come up with a foam or plastic cradle for one of them anyway.  Not that they will be in the boxes very often, as they are going to be on the layout until the above occurs

The CSX Hanover Subdivision welcome 2 new locomotives to the roster this week.  TRW's own @MRLX1020 painted and decaled these for me.  These will give me added push to get back to working on the layout and running trains again.  Pictures show them waiting in the Hagerstown Yard to be picked up, in tow on D797, set off at Porters Sideling doing an air/brake test with their train, and crossing Main St at the PHG paper mill where they will do most of their work.

Adam:

Thanks again for the work - they look right at home on your layout.

Nice Work on those two units. If I might add to your comment,  a little weathering and YES they will look right at home!
I"m a fan and I follow this thread a lot.

Some very light weathering is in store, but not much.  These units were repainted in 2014 and that is pretty close to my layout cutoff, so they wouldn't have been in service very long in the new paint.  Though in this video, 65 did have some oil/grease/grime running down from the dynamics
