Sunday Scenic Showcase October 6. 2024

I've been on "grandparent duty" the last 10 days, so prgress has been slow.

I've been working on ballasting the inner loop and completing the fencing separating the right of way from the city/commercial area. Also, I'm trying to decide which warning signals to use on my grade crossing.

Maybe these warning signals.....

In addition, I'm considering placing the painting facility near the Engine House.....

Have a great and safe week, folks......

Your city scene is SUPERB!!! I am a lover of urban scenes and architecture.

Paul.......your layout is fantastic. I especially like your night scenes.

Do you have any scenes specific to the Cape? My wife and I love to stay in Chatham......and, in my younger days I would bike on the Cape Cod Rail Trail from the old New Haven Station in Chatham, east to Harwich, then, north to Brewster and then East to Orleans passing the old railroad platform in "downtown" Orleans and then meeting my wife who would bring the car to a parking lot near the Orleans Rotary.

I think the scenery of the mid Cape is fantastic!  Loads of great things to model......

This is on route north from Harwich on the Rail Trail (the old New Haven Cape Cod branch)......

The New Haven station platform in Orleans.......

The New Haven station in Chatham, now a museum.....

The intermodal facility yard office is just about done.  It, needs a sign and I might have to do something about light bleed through since I went ahead and illuminated it.  I like the Employee Lunch Room/Driver's Lounge.

If I do paint the interior to prevent light bleed through I may leave this side alone.  It looks as if there is an overhead light up in the ceiling.
