The buildings made after SoCal prototypes are back on the layout. Only the little odd shaped brick building, the universal garage like building, the walls and the mill after a Cleveland prototype survived. They blend nicely with the concrete slab buildings (shoeboxes
)
It is my intention to stay with my freelance layout in SoCal. If I do a rebuild in 2013 a more prototype track plan has highest priority. That requires a more or less a rebuild from scratch. I am not ready to do that at this time.
However, I did overstretch two fingers at the right hand some weeks ago and had some severe pain yesterday when I did the very little rework. I am afraid I was to optimistic assuming it will heal by itself and may need to see the doctor tomorrow to be back in the layout building business soon.
The Atherrn Genesis UPY GP15-1 run in SoCal (ex MP units) became available yesterday at M.B.Klein. I have to wait 3-5 weeks to have them here on my layout. Trainworld, shipping within 48 hours via DHL express, was already sold out.... I hate waiting weeks for parcels to arrive on the other side of the pond. :evil:
Four working days left and another 6 month "inactive" turn will start
I kept the little odd shaped brick building and the wall because they fit so well
Next two areas are back to SoCal as it has been before
The garage like building is so universal it survived the transition back to SoCal and replaces the former UP J yard building.
I like the loooooong building in the background now optically separated by the looooong brick wall
The plain brick structure build after a prototype in Cleveland survived too. I like the low-key structure and it fits nice into the corner.
