Thanks so much Tom!
Cripes, I was so mad last night, did a 21 pic update, click post, and boom.....NOTHING SHOWED UP, AAARRGGHH!
Well, I am going to do it in 4-5 pic installments, perhaps it was to much to post in one posting. Working on it now

RE: UP SD40-2's NEW Layout - UP SD40-2 - 03-14-2020

And the last part is the left, havent done much scenery there. The only thing I have done scenery wise on the left is an old RR service gravel road the RR mostly uses to fuel engines..

The rest of the left side will be the railway offices, and the very outer edge of a small town consisting of a store, the courthouse, small park and across the street a house...

Well, thats it for now, hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much nutbar! Icon_e_biggrin

Been meaning to come back for awhile, but wanted to be sure I was in it for a bit first, you know how it goes. Been at it for about a year solid again, feels good, felt it was time to come back Icon_e_biggrin

RE: UP SD40-2's NEW Layout - UP SD40-2 - 03-15-2020

Thanks Don & Wayne! Icon_e_biggrin

Its great to be back Thumbsup

Life and stuff comes up, so I am always off and on with the Hobby, guess thats just how it is with me, but I have been "on" for about a year now as you can tell from my update pics Icon_e_biggrin

. Been meaning to get back here sooner but i wanted to be sure I was going to be in the "on" mode before I came back. Its nice to get going on the layout again, feels good/right.
I have so much to do, so many ideas. I want to get a good start on all the scenery, then deep dive into each area with all the small details that really make a difference, thus, nothing I have done on it yet is "done", some areas more so then others, but not one area I could call "finished" yet.

I am fortunate that I have saved everything, cost has been very minimal since I have so much to still work with. Sure I have bought some new stuff, but not much. I have been bad though too, I mean I know I needed another engine like a hole in my head, but at Christmas I bought an SD70ACE (DCC), oh man I have wanted one of them for years now Goldth

. I have sooo many cars and engines, NO MORE!..... Icon_cool

.

Anyways Till next time,
-Deano

RE: UP SD40-2's NEW Layout - ezdays - 03-15-2020

Yeah Deano, I think we all understand that on and off thing. I had everything packed up for about three years while we tried to get settled. We only moved four time in that period. Icon_rolleyes

I'm please to be back doing things again to, and we are all glad to see you back.

Great to see you back and posting. I have done nothing MRR related for a few years now and of course the whole photbucket "thing" kind of killed my threads anyway. I will be checking in to see your progress buddy Thumbsup
