A few pics from my layout

[nolatron]

Can you share some details (& maybe a few photos) of the city backdrop you're using in those photos?

Gotta agree with everyone else, the weathering is superb. I'm surprised that you will add lettering after weathering, I look forward to seeing that.

Wow - really nice layout scene and great - I mean great weathering. That rust looks real. My compliments. I too await a tutorial on just how you got the rust looking so lifelike.

The city backdrop is available from realisticbackground. Website: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.realisticbackgrounds.com">http://www.realisticbackgrounds.com</a><!-- m -->


Also made my own. I found a picture that I wanted (internet), format it as I wanted in "paint"
and printed it:

I have posted a quick "how-to" for weathering in
the "Tips-and-Tricks" section, title " Quick weathering "

Cheers

A few more pics. Nothing spectacular. Just taking a break from doing scenery.
Running some trains right now.

The first train of 2009 is this RS-18 pulling a few covered hoppers
and stopping at Chambly Station

(Could not upload pics directly here ?????)

[MLW]

The RS-18 stopped at the station to let
the company higher priority train go by.

Before the RS-18 could go on however, CN premier
high-speed passenger train, CN1
(which has priority over all other traffic) flew by
the station on its high speed run to Montreal.

Great modeling & great photos!

Thanks!

I really like that last pic you posted, its fun to look at

[Fluesheet]

Good stuff - I bet you spend some time on modeltrainsweathered.com (I think that's the name). Your work and the stuff there makes my head spin!

Also, what are the objects poking out from the facia in the picture above? Are these switch knobs? Someplace to hang throttles?
