Thank you all.

News from my paint shop:

freshly painted models for my fictional "Indiana Transfer Railway"
It still lacks decals and paint on details.

That's an eye catching scheme! I like it! Thumbsup

Re: Indiana City - mountaingoatgreg - 09-07-2012

That is sharp looking, has the look of a commuter or electric operation.

Are you getting custom made decals made or will these just have simple lettering?

Greg,

a pic is better than words Big Grin

Re: Indiana City - IndyCity - 11-04-2012

For the next time I have stopped laying tracks and pulled all segments off the wall brackets.

So I can reach the corner segment which I can't model at it's place.

All the other part have been brought to the cellar and the corner segment is put on stands in the middle of the room.

I will finish it before it will be put back on it# wall brackets.

today i started with the parking lot of the three houses of Poughkeepsie,NY.

done !

now the whole area will get some light white wash and a flat coat to cover all shiny spots.

Then I can model the scenery around it.

Re: Indiana City - faraway - 11-04-2012

Joerg, it is looking good! Is there a specific reason you picked a building from Poughkeepsie, NY?

Re: Indiana City - IndyCity - 11-04-2012

Reinhard,

Only this reason:

I saw the pics a friend of mine took at his travel to the USA.

And when i saw this pic I though immediately that these buildings and it's parking lot has to get a place on my layout. Big Grin

Today only one photo.
The scenery material lacks. Curse

I like your ITR paint job... and your trackwork & ballasting look great, as well.

Great masking job on the parking lot! Worship

Re: Indiana City - IndyCity - 11-18-2012

This weekend I've modeled at the large area next to the parking lot and on the former steep ramp to the upper town located on a small hill. Thereof exists only the beginning and is used sometimes. The rest is mostly degraded and overgrown.

another view. Sorry for the weak flash.

The area I have modulated from quartz sand and then sprinkled with sifted earth. Unfortunately, the thinned clue not dried up tonight, so I could not continue processing the surface with the grass master.

And so does it look todays evening.

And it was also time for this. Big Grin
