    A bit more basic scenery done.

    The corner of the layout will have trees to disguise the corner.

    Looking excellent. Sure does feel good when things start coming together.

    That works fine in industrial trackage, IMO. Like you, I operate four-axle diesels on my layout, from switchers to GP7s, GP15-1s and GP38-2s.

    At a bit of a lull now, I needn't wait for the ground to dry so I can get some more earth.

    The corner is nicely sceniced. I tend to want a glass of wine as well, when I get done fiddling with scenery. ;)

    First of the new batch of MC freightcars nearing completion, needs air hoses, coupler cut bars, stirrups (now it is not being handled anymore) and Kadee 158's.

    It is fitted with Exactrail trucks, not good when your track is not flat...

    The weathering is not great but I am still experimenting.

    You're wrong, the weathering is great. I like all the rivets.

    Cars are exposed to all kinds of wear and tear, many different ways. Looks good from here!

    I have made a start on the chain-link fence round my fertilizer plant, I need to modify the concrete base so the gates meet in the middle again...

    I will also need to spray the fence as you can hardly see it!

    It is still very much a work in progress, the building behind will be rebuilt and extended along the shed wall.

    After seeing this in person, I ordered a set for my layout. Adds great detail.

    Not much progress lately on the South Lewistown, I am still working on basic scenery and have a lot of work to do yet.
