Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

Multi-tasking today.  I decided to eliminate the last vestiges of pink foam board on the Black Creek to Hazleton area of the layout.  Slathered on some Sculptamold that's going to spend the next couple of days drying at which time we'll get the brown paint out.

   

More trees and shrubbery are being added to Hazleton.  Add some, let dry, add or subtract, ponder.  The picture below is the beer distributor, which is the closest thing to the edge of the layout, meaning the home stretch of the Hazleton addition has officially been entered.  Maybe by next weekend I'll get my static grass applicator out on it's maiden voyage to add some of that to the presentation.  Hoping some of that looks as good as Charlie's efforts on his layout.  If it does work well, I'm going to be working a bunch of that into the foreground areas between the edge of the layout and the track, which would seem to enable a bit more speed to the process.

   

I'm also weathering those remaining 8 coal hoppers to complete my 34-car coal drag.  The last major train needing weathering would be my Delaware and Hudson Apollo intermodal but addressing that may be months away.
