The next installment of the blog...... I'll be doing entries two today in 2 parts.
Not much currently in terms sexy layout photos. Since the backdrop from the yard all the way through Jefferson will be directly on drywall I've been applying a skim coat of mud to eliminate the texture and have a smooth working surface. Hoping to have that primed today along with the upper valance and have that completed by Monday.
I have been playing with LEDs for the under mount lighting. Unfortunately the subtle differences don't show well in pics. For me a single strand is too dim and gives the multiple shadow directions I am trying to avoid. Hopefully I'll have this figured out this weekend but it's looking like dual strands of 2835s with 600 LEDs per 5 m might be the winner. I may play with a 3rd strand of warm LEDs with the 2 bright whites but that will be later.
Lastly I had a to go through a lot of boxes to get somewhat organized. I did get rid of my last box of N scale stuff and a box of Z scale stuff, as well as 2 boxes of Scale Rails and Bulletins. I did find a couple of things from the way back machine and a few print gems I forgot I had......
And I found the "field notes" from the original Klamath Sub feasibility study
