    Thanks Gormo. :thumbs:

    That rail colour is a mix of burnt sienna and burnt umber acrylic poster paints (Monte Marte). I didn't bother fully mixing it, I just threw it on ! :D

    Cheers, Gary.

    Thanks Daniel. :tophat:

    The layout has had moments of idleness, not much happening, then all of a sudden, I had a free weekend ! It's amazing what you can do in a few hours over a weekend !!

    Cheers, Gary.

    Whilst I have a spare hour or so, I have been putting these switch stands together and a couple of cross bucks. These are all from the Osborn Model Kits range, which I find very good and easy to piece together. I also have some of their pallets lying around which I'll end up making to.

    The switch stands comprise themselves of 9 individual laser cut pieces....


    Once together, they do look great...



    There cross bucks are a decent product too. They come with 5 x sets of 2, 3 & 4 Tracks signs, enough to make 10 pairs of cross bucks.


    I didn't realise, but on Thursday evening when putting the cross bucks together, I placed the Rail Road section of the cross up side down... Hence why one has been partly painted and one not !

    Cheers, Gary.

    Sunday morning switch stand production line is well under way...


    I will require another 6 after this lot for the rest of the layout. The 10 I am currently putting together will be enough for the extension only.

    I may even get a few pallets together after the next lot !

    Cheers, Gary.

    They look great Gary, well done mate. Do they operate or are they fixed?

    Pete.

    Thanks Gormo. :thumbup:

    Thanks Pete. :thumbup: The handles and target do turn, but do not operate the points.

    Cheers, Gary.

    Over the last few afternoons I pulled out the air brush, paints and powders and gave a few wagons a light weathering... :avatar:

    I still need to touch them up a bit as I'm not 100% happy with them...









    Cheers, Gray.

    3500 miles from home, lucky the track gauge is the same....

    A few interlopers rode the rails of Central Pennsylvania this afternoon...

    Late evening running... Ex Illinois Central GP10 #7962, now owned and operated by the JSRR, powers a short string of box cars through Jay Dubyew North Yard, whilst local switcher JSRR RS3 #1633 watches on....


    Cheers, Gary.
