Well it finally dawned on me why I didn't get at least one line powered before Christmas, I counted the number of pieces the 3D printer printed for elevated sections of two main lines and a spur. They wound up taking 45 days of printing. Not totally continuous, however if a piece took more than 16 hours, then the next piece did not start till the next day. Then there was the design time, prime coating, rust coating and now salt masking and top coating. The spur is almost finished and I used a sliver final coat with a dark brown rust look. Not sure what color final coating will be for the two mainlines. Thinking either a blue/green (as in a NYC elevated subway green) brown, or a lighter/brighter silver than the spur is painted. One Mainline runs parallel to the spur and the supports will combine once the levels are equal. Any thoughts on colors???
