The building is looking good. Nice paint job on the loco, very sharp looking!

Thank you Mike. I just recently realized that the NYA black & green scheme was inspired by the old long island rr orange & grey scheme

That will become a wonderful "boring" building. The prototype is full of that kind of buildings that will never be done by Cornerstone. How did you do all the perfect window openings? Did you get a laser cutter or an extra load of patience?

I used a tool from micromark called a nibbler. Its basically a square hole punch, its definitely helpful but takes a toll on your hand after a while and makes a pretty big mess.

Also i went to home depot to get shelf brackets so that i can start the new portion of the Bay Ridge Branch. While taking some measurements i started to think that instead of including Glenwood mason supply i would replace it with the railroad crossing at Flushing Ave in Queens. Although this crossing is not located on the Bay Ridge Branch it is on the Bushwick Branch. I think this crossing would bring a lot of visual interest with animated crossing signals and the train passing through a building and over another roadway. So the question is do I keep it prototypical Bay Ridge Branch or lean on the crutch of freelance and add the crossing? Here's some photos from google of the crossing.

I think that you've answered your own question before you'd even asked it. Nothing wrong with a layout being "visually interesting". Wayne
