Got all raw buildings painted. Some simple paint makes the difference.
Sounds easy but was quite frustrating. I used a new brand "Amsterdam" of rattle cans with excellent dull paint in colors very suitable for buildings. The problem is the unique nozzle on the cans. The nozzle plugs up like hell. Had to suspend painting, clean the nozzles in water, blow them with the airbrush and suspend painting several times. Very frustrating. I contacted the makers in the Netherlands to get some advise how to use their rattle cans sucessful.
I have another problem with the plastic pellet unloading facilities. The pipe system supplied by Walthers with the kit is far to thin compared to everything seen on prototype photos and in real life unloading of a bulk truck in Vernon, CA. I see only pipes and hoses at least 10cm/4" thick used for plastic pellet unloading. I think I have to build my own.

Another quick swap is the replacement of an old brick building at the very right end with a more modern background building removed from the center two weeks ago.
