A little thread about my layout the Bonaventure & Chambly (BOeC) in HO scale.
It is a compressed rendition of the St-Hyacinthe Subdivision and Drummond Subdivision in eastern Canada, Quebec, representing the very busy main line between Montreal and Quebec city. Montreal is not depicted except a compressed version of the Montreal Gare Centrale (Central Station), otherwise Montreal is staging. Quebec city is staging only.
Towns along the way are St-Hyacinthe, Ste-Rosalie, Drummondville, and the A20.
I`ll post more pics as the layout progress.
Thank you for looking

I realy like MLW`s power
However Since I follow the prototype for that particuaor era, some non-MLW are part of the roster

I`ve been asked a few times if I had a track plan. I don`t at the moment.
The best I could come up with is a rough, not to scale, drawing of the layout set-up:
That is it for now

Syl,
What a great looking layout, like the use of your scenery with the backdrop and the weathering on your grain cars
, very nicely done.

Thanks Bruce. It's a work in progress.
For the scenery I use a variety of products: Fine ground foam, clump foliage. pot planters, and a mix of various size and color static grass.
The backdrop helps a lot too! For weathering I use either acrylic colors, gouache, or oil. Applied with a paint brush and cosmetic sponges.

I like what you show of your layout. The weathering of cars and engines is done very well
