I barely have time to work on the layout lately. Now I have to build a diorama too????

Mark D and Mark B- nice work. You too Brian. I smell a "What did you do on your Diorama" thread starting soon.

Bob

Bob, I don't have time to start on my layout, so I am slowly building a module.  I think a "Diorama" topic is a good idea.  If you want, join in!

Well, it has been exactly a month since I last wrote.  Actually, I thought it was longer.  (How often does that happen?  Usually it was longer than I thought.)  

I have a little bit of an update on my module.  I glued down the riser for the track and the cork roadbed.  I sanded the cork smooth, but the track is just sitting there for now.  I plan to spray paint it with Testors CreateFX Gravel Gray.  I want to see how that looks for a temporary ballast, as I am thinking of doing that on the impending layout.  It takes me so long to get ballast down, I think this will be a good temporary stand in.  I also bought the Pennsylvania style tunnel portal and wings last week.  I just have them leaning in position to get an idea how I want to build up my mountain.  I bought them at Hobby Express in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, and thought the manufacturer's name was on the wrapper.  I'm thinking Woodland Scenics, but don't know for sure. When I got home, I saw there was only a price tag on the shrink wrap, so I am not sure who made them.  They are a slightly flexible foam.  So, with my Legacy F7 set and an Atlas 2-bay hopper, you get an idea of how I envision this for photo shooting.
