Weathering on the sidewalks......

Peter

Found some old B&W photos from the '50s...

Wow Pete...an unexpected treat to see such a nice railroad. The black and white presentation makes it even more appealing. Well done.

Bob

Al that's an unexpected view into your world...what is that place with the distant round top window? Very intriguing.

Bob

Alan, that's one lucky client to have those Graziano originals.

A little more progress, something like this.....................

There is a lot of truly great work posted on this forum, but not 1 in 1000 pictures could ever be confused with reality.  I think that this is one of them.

EDIT: ...and it may be the very first one that contains a human figure.

Flanger,

The layout is located above a three car garage in Connecticut. I have been built the industrial structures on this layout over about a ten year period. I was invited to his 70 th birthday party. I do not get to see things in person that I constructed on an operating layout that much.

Alan Graziano

Nice Alan. And you did not stop by me for a visit?

I started on an interior for one of my downtown Deco kits.

I also started stenciling my roads.  I wish I did this before the install.

here is a picture of a Conrail freight passing through the TMB club layout Branch Line

I am working on "Lighting Er UP!"

All good looking stuff guys. Wish I had something to show for all the work I've been doing this week. Pictures of fixed pilots and Kadee coupler conversions doesn't exactly make the cut for the stimulating eye candy on this thread!

 A little more work on the experimental sheet rock stone work. I added some corbeling by making the last three courses 1/8" wider. I carved the head joints in the face, and used joint compound for all the voids and imperfections. I had a piece of hairpin railing made of brass brazing rod from a project my youngest son Mark did when he was in 7th grade. He and I made a section of the Rockville bridge from foam wood and cardboard. It is now part of my inside yard on the shelf layout attached to my work shop. The railing wouldn't fit, so I saved it for a future project. 

 I still have joints to carve inside the portal, and finish touching up the face before it can be painted. 

Very Nice work this week guys!

Here is some progress on my layout.

I added some Blair Line laser cut grade crossings, very nice.

I continue to make some progress on the coal breaker-mine structure.
