Now there's atmosphere for you
Very nicely done, Reinhard - I think you've probably gone as far as you need to with the buildings; looking forward to the advent of the 'ground over'.
Regards,

Started the ground works. I need to get a feeling how much degeneration is appropriate.
and a barrier along the street
Together with the adjacent untended yard is the overall impression changing

Thanks for the kind comments. Yes, this part is the best one. I hope it will last for some more time.
I worked my way from the center to the West end of the building today.

Reinhard,Those safety stripes(aka idiot stripes) on those support columns is very nice and adds realism..
I never thought about those stripes even though they are very common on those types of buildings...
Come winter I'm going to continue the march on Slate Creek and move from Woodland Scenics 12" x24" black roadbed and track to adding structures,ballast etc.

We have got a modern fence with a long sliding gate with a motor drive.
A view along the street. The fence separates the street vs. the industry yard.

Really atmospheric, Reinhard, and somewhat sinister: I keep expecting to see the chalk outline of a body over by the dumpster

Added some detail at the west side of the building
and converted the track back to normal ballasted, added a sidewalk, handrails, steps and other details.
The industry yard became more structured and detailed
Adding details since some time builds up even more respect for Ray's "59th and Rust" layout. It is amazing how much and how many details he put on his layout

The "Route
there", is "one detail at a time". - - - the level of that one detail, and the rate at which you "produce details" is up to you. The farther up the learning curve you get, the quicker things begin to happen. As your skill level improves, ( and it will ) replacing first attempts with better versions is not a sin.
Have
fun getting there
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
