That's horrible, Catt - at least you now have a legitimate excuse for "armchair modeling"

Layout looks great Catt, hope you can get some relief for your back soon!

Well I did manage to get a little more done.I wanted to get a lot more finished but I feel lucky getting as much as I did.Here are two pics ,the first one from the same perspective as the last pic posted.



This one was taken from a different angle to better show what I got done.For the next 20 days my main project will be my Z layout.While I am working on the Z the only time I will be working on this layout is while I am waiting for glue or paint to dry.

We'll see if we can get you some slow-drying glue.

David, I have to April 20th to get a town commercial district done on my Z layout (next show is April 21. )
Fortunately I have about a third of the buildings built.

Looking good Catt!

That's a convincing scene. Having the roads and tracks not parallel or perpendicular to the layout edge really makes a difference.

Ok back at it and having fun.Got the trucking company this far this weekend.I extended the left side wall so the building was setting straight and made a new as yet not finished roof (details).I will be working on Kindel Furniture tomorrow so I can get theis section done.Then from there to the right side to get Fowler's Fine Furniture up to snuff.

Anywho this is this weeks progress. :mrgreen:

Looks like some serious big city railroading Catt !

I'm on a roll Mike,got the rest of the trucking company lawn done this morning.Hoping to get the scenery done around Kindels Furniture done today.Interesting little tidbit about Kindels is that if I had built it to scale it would be over 6' long in N scale.

I hope to post more pics later today or tomorrow morning.

It is 4:11 am Monday morning and I can't sleep.I got almost all I wanted to get done yesterday done.Here is the proof.



I think I will work on some signage later today and probaly that stretch of ugly to the left of the street.

Trying to show up us slackers with your constant, steady progress Catt?

One more progress photo.Bit more ground cover down.Bluish gray building is a cardstock model my frioend Terry Holmes did just for me.It will be known as "Holmes Auto Repair" Now I just need to find a decent Roll back car hauler and a pickup based tow truck.I don't weant one of the Athearn units because they are heavyduty semi haulers.



I really need to get started on business signs,I have one for each of the furniture factories but have decided they are to big for what I want.

Looking good Catt!

Tought I would toss this close up pic into the mix just incase somebody is thinking about some cardstock buildings(disclaimer here I did not make this one)
