R & D Railroad, Updates

Looking good Jeff. I think Amtrak needs to start painting their new Acela sets in the Warbonnet scheme. That would be cool to see pulling into NY Penn Station.

Running Trains this afternoon.

Looks like you had a great time!

Jeff, the lift up bridge looks great!  I like your toggle switches so much better than the tether Mianne provides.  I like the stain you used on the wood as well.

Thank you, Mark. I got the idea from Sean from Sean's Trains and Things.

A little afternoon Train time.

Nice runs!!

Update for August 28, 2022

Jeff, it is looking good

I installed the skirts tonight.

Looks good Jeff. Adds a nice finished look to the front of the layout.

Thank you Bob.

I watched Ron’s Train and Things on YouTube for the idea.  They are held in place by clothes pins.

Jeff, it looks really good!  I wasn’t going to do mine until I was farther along with it, but maybe it’s time.

Great progress, Jeff!

Some landscaping today.

Jeff,

I enjoy your videos and like seeing your dog.

Well done!

Tim Foley came up with a great idea with the lift bridge for Mianne Benchwork.

I finished the hobo campground today.  Still needs a few more bushes and trees.

The hobo camp looks great, Jeff!  I see the supervisor is right there to make sure you do it all correctly!

Started on the Bates Hotel.

I don’t see the photograph, Jeff.

Mark , I posted it again.

It looks great, Jeff!

I started my version of the Bates Motel. I need to do some more work around the cabins and roads.

Peter, Thank you and have a great time at York.

Looks good Jeff. You are moving right along. I like the forced perspective on the Bates Motel house.

Peter, I hope to be there in October but I think I will fly this time.

A lot has happened since May 31.

You are making nice progress, Jeff
