A Challenge: Designing A new modular layout section
#51
All turnout motors are now mechanically installed. I am waiting for a DCC accessory decoder to drive these. Once that one arrives I can start wiring them up.
In the meantime, I started painting/weathering the track. The first of several coats of paint has been applied (in this case a drab green as an overall wash, and the rails have been brush painted a dark brown to simulate old rust).
Several passes with very thinned (washes) of various grades of brown , grey and other dust tones will follow to get the effect of real old track, that has bits of moss growing on it, tar, cinders, mud, rust deposits etc...
Once I'm done with that, I'll start on basic terrain covering.
