Thanks! I'm really enjoying how the layout is getting a more "serious" look... The funny thing is that scratchbuilbuilding structures is easier and more realistic than kitbashing kits. The more I do them in cardboard, the more I find I have more freedom in what I'm doing.

Also, streamlining the layout considerably made it easier to achieve. I mean, less structure, less track, more realistic scene composition, I feel it's less useless works. What little I do, I do it right.

Thanks for the comments about the sketched backdrop. I have no merit since most of my real work involve measuring and drawing churches and religious buildings.

BTW, the food processing plant will likely be the old Coca-Cola bottling plant located on 1st Avenue. It used to be rail-served well into the late 70s. Should be a lot of fun to kitbash.

@David: I've got some Createx pearlescent white paint. I suspect it would look quite realistic with a coat of gloss... I'll try it next time I rework those poles (like filling the ugly holes!).

Back to bashing a few GP9 and RS18! yeah!
