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 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?

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.

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

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.

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