This weekend's projects, the only layout weekend I'm having this month, are a Trans 5-plank wagon, Installing and rewiring my new turntable, and a bit of decor in the yard for the coal merchant's stalls and the garage.
Added a couple detail pieces, a fuel tank made from a busted truck, painted the board around the coal stage and got that glued down, and a dirt pile's bones. I *did* have to pull up the inlayed track because I fucked up the clay.
I also did some organizational work on the layout, getting all my supplies sorted into a bin and getting the layout situated in a new spot in my room.
I have not posted in a few days, but that does not mean I've done nothing! First, I've painted and built a little road vehicle shed.
And she's all together! Still wanna weather her some but she's done for now.
Tender is gonna stay disassembled all night, probably all day tomorrow too, for the glue to dry. I love how she's turning out so far!
Also did some rough plannings as to what I want to have in terms of buildings.
Broke out my old camera and took a couple pictures of my J36. Wild this model's tooling is 15 years newer than the camera.
In my goal to do something with my layout every day, I labled my P-class' box with her DCC address.
I would love to fit my whole fleet all at once but that's not really in the cards for me at the moment. The only reason the 48 got fitted when it did is because the decoder I got wouldn't fit in my Terrier (but it fit in the 48, make it make sense). (Both mentioned engines pictured below.)
It took me all day, but the rest of the cork has been glued, the holes drilled, and the track weathered and glued.
I've just decided that the J36 exists solely to be my test bed. This is my first time trying to weather something other than a freight car. I don't know how happy I am, you can only go so far with acrylics and no powder I guess.. Ah well. Gonna try to get some before I do the engine.
