[IndyCity]

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.



E-33 #150 and Caboose #16


RDC #1010

That's an eye catching scheme! I like it!

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?

[IndyCity]

Greg,

a pic is better than words

[IndyCity]

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?

[IndyCity]

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.

Today only one photo.
The scenery material lacks.

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

Great masking job on the parking lot!

[IndyCity]

This weekend I've modeled at the large area next to the parking lot and on the former steep ramp to the upper town located on a small hill. Thereof exists only the beginning and is used sometimes. The rest is mostly degraded and overgrown.


another view. Sorry for the weak flash.

The area I have modulated from quartz sand and then sprinkled with sifted earth. Unfortunately, the thinned clue not dried up tonight, so I could not continue processing the surface with the grass master.


And so does it look todays evening.
















And it was also time for this.

Where did you pick up your scenery material from? It foes not look like the standard suppliers.

Also your last photo i making me hungry!!
