i don’t know, if it is the right word, but, that landscape got a romantic feeling to it!
Korn, that landscape is romantic… It gets all lovey-dovey when a train passes by… hehehe (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
glad you like it…
Some shots from last weeks work:
So, below are 3 pictures of the same area, taken from different angles…
The area is the small notch (set back) by the window where trains depart at the very south end of the basement…
From the aisle:
An almost straight on shot:
A shot from further into the basement:
I think she did a fantastic job working thru that small notch in the wall…
She’ll be back this week to add details…
Impressive work!
What he said. Hell of a job with that area. It flows(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
To expand on what Bruce said … Damn impressive work (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)The pictures look good, but I have a feeling they don’t look near as impressive as seeing it live and in color (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

I haven’t seen those in person, but the town scene sure fits that description. I sure hope we can make the October meet so I can see it all in person.
Time for another wall painting update…
Below is a picture of how the farm looked last weekend…
The next 2 pictures below show how the farm looks this weekend…
Another post will follow…
The following pictures start on the other side of the town…
I’ll start by showing the station area, then moving more north along the wall…
The door is the entrance to the room that holds the electric panel and cable connections…
This require a lift out section, which I intend to make a bridge.
The track showing is on the lift out section.
To show the whole area, the shot below is an overall picture.
To the right of the picture is the inside Industrial Park for inside operations.
More to follow, as my painter will be back next week for 2 days…
WOW, amazing, beautiful … I could go on. I am really enjoying seeing each of these updates. Thanks for sharing.
The windows are pictures of the reflections … nice.
Touches all the bases.
that looks just…
(i ran out of superlatives)
Back again…
So, this week was working along the river in the door, and painting the factory at the west end
of the industrial park.
Below is a shot of the factory:
Probably need to take a close up shot… If you look close, you can see people on the right side of the river
and towards the back center on the boardwalk…
Factory painting is not as of yet finished. There is the capability of 2 freight cars inside the building
and the one outside.
Below are a couple of overall shots of the area:
In the picture below, you can see on the left where the passenger station is
A lot more details to be added both here and back in the country area…
Enjoy, till the next time…
That is just amazing. You are extremely lucky to have someone so talented to do this for you.

Yes, Jon, I believe that also… She does fantastic work… (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Well, it’s time to continue the updates moving on into the Industrial Park.
Below is the west end of the Industrial Park… Starting with a bit of the river on the electrical closet door.
The shot below is from the east end of the Industrial Park looking westerly…
A close up of the building… This industry is serviced by rail on the backside…
After that comes the gray industry followed by the next painted building…
The painted builidings are all serviced by tracks on the backside of the buildings.
A closer shot of that building. Where the paper shows at the right will be another painted on industry.
Below is an overall shot of the entire wall… Phone did focus on the rail cars instead of the wall…
Since I gave yall one blurry shot, I thought I’d give you another…
This shot gives you an idea of the east end of the Industrial Park…
Will try and get some clearer shots of the overall area…
That’s it for now…
Excellent !
Wow! The river is excellent. Thanks for saying some of the pictures were blurry, I thought my eyes were going.
Damn that water looks wet. Great work. (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
I’m still not understanding how the Amtrash fits into this plan? It looks out of place to me and should be sold for $20 as that’s what it’s worth cause it’s Amtrak. Just send it to me and we will call it even! I’ll pay for the shipping even though I shouldn’t the way you have treated me over the years!
