    Thanks Tom. I am very pleased with how it looks. Just needs toning down now.

    The fence looks great will be interesting to see how you airbrush without painting track and structures

    The fence looks good as is now. Paint the top wires and call it good, unless adding some damage...

    That's a tight little yard. The truckers must be quite skilled, to get turned around in there!

    For "barbed" wire... I have put a small(very small) droplet of CA on the wire. As, it is almost dry, squeeze the droplet with your fingers(please wear a glove! LOL!) and kind of make it flat. It makes for a great and easy "barb". Just time consuming! But, still a great job on the fence and the scenes of the fence being put up! I am someone who also likes to set up scenes like this!

    For barbed wire, also consider looking in the military models section. A lot of products available.

    I love it all but what really catches my eye is the great looking road on that last photo with the semi going through the gate. Well executed!

    The RSD-15 waits for the RS3 to arrive with a freight before heading out. The RS3 then runs around the train, removes the caboose and shoves it into the departure track

    Yikes. It would be embarrassing to shove through a closed gate!

    Try shoving thru a closed gate and over a derail. BTW the derail worked:(:(

    I always enjoy seeing your scenes, with all the figures placed just right, really brings it to life.

    RS3 retires to siding whilst BN SD24 arrives with a tank car with barrier cars.

    Yes Ken, it is, but it is not my model, it belongs to Matt. ;)
    He does intend to weather it.

    When I get it back it will undergo a good weathering session
