Syl,
Enjoyed the additional photos of your layout. I really admire the work you have done on the scenery and weathering of your rolling stock.

That is some impressive photography of a masterful layout. I did a double take on several of the pictures to make sure I was looking at a model, not prototype. Well done!

Extremely well done! I'm working on modeling a piece of the Leithton Sub (ex-EJE) in Chicago ; it's nice to see a CN layout although one of the reasons I'm doing Leithton is I see a wide variety of power (CN, BNSF, NS, UP and even CP) there.
I really like those backdrops. I'll have to look into what Scenic King offers. Keep the pictures coming!

Nothing earth shattering at the moment or in the foreseeable future!
I‘ve been doing some light and not so light weathering on some old rolling stock.
Maybe it’s worth a shot to give them a second chance.
This one fall into the “good enough 3-foot rule” type of weathering
I used acrylic, gouache, oil paint and watercolour pencils.

..and beginning of the following segment the A20. Track is in place and highway right of way is roughed in and backdrop installed.
Next weather the rails and ties, make lots of trees, telephone pole, highway and ancillary accessories etc.
That is it for now
Cheers
