Now that the backdrop is done I can get on with the mini scenes!

First one is the Mauston Farmers Co-op storage building.

Hi,
Great progress on your layout. Happy to see the next scene developing. That storage building looks good,nice weathering. Fantastic backdrop painting, but the blue on the new section seems to be a bit brighter than on the old part....or it´s the lights.
Great work and keep it going. Thanks for sharing.

Regards,Chris

Looking great!. Your layout is a inspiration for beginners like me.

Thanks guy's, the blue was supposed to be computer matched, and seeing I have to drive 30 miles one way to get it I think I can live with the difference.

I finished the FM Reed lumber yard scene, here is the corner so far.

The main building is scratch built from an old photo, the lumber rack is a kitbashed Atlas kit.

Hu Andy,
that corner is coming out nice. That little lumber yard is very interesting...is this made from a kit or scratchbuild? Fantastic modelling as usual.

Chris,
The main building is scratch built. The lumber rack is an Atlas kit that has been reworked some what.

Working on the Mauston Farmers Co-op LP gas plant. This is what I have so far.

I still have to build a small LP gas cylinder filling shed and dock.
