First up.. We actually had a bit of nice weather last weekend. Perfect excuse to get the airbrush out and do some weathering.
Sadly, I rather rushed things in my enthusiasm.. not overly happy with the dirt shades on much of the stock I did..and was a bit heavy-handed overall. The RS27 was the only loco to get attention. Over the last week or so, my initial disappointment has waned a little, and I reckon with a bit of work it'll end up being alright..
One of the other little 'jobs' I've done is to mock up a couple of loads for the bulkhead flats. It seems that there are lots of different ways of doing this. I like the look of some of the 'wrapped' loads that I've seen online so used Open Office to knock one up, bearing the name of the lumber company on the layout - 'Northwest Lumber'. These are just printed onto thin card and folded up as a test.
Lots more to do.. I ordered some clear decal sheets, so the Bachmann S2 is getting patched.. perhaps along with some rolling stock.
I'd like to find some figures and perhaps a couple of vehicles next.. but HO stuff seems to be very expensive for some reason..
(and I don't want any of those weird 'sexy scenes'.. what the hell is that about?!)
