Thanks Amanda! You're spot on - details (or lack thereof) make the scene.
Backdrop behind the breaker is now in. It's a piece of 1/4" Homasote painted blue with the upper section given some brush treatments of white while the blue paint is still wet to give a lighter color as you get higher in the sky. Here are a couple of shots.
I'm also making some steady progress on my Reading GP40-2 which I hope to have weathered and running by the end of the weekend. Pictures of that coming soon. I'll also be weathering and patching some Conrail/Reading boxcars if I get enough free time.
