More Trestle Pics

More trestle pics...

Well, one here...



Several more over at my Zooomr place, click the image, go there, wander about, read the humourous captions.

And yes, I painted that lettering on the boxcar by hand. With a little tiny brush. And if you believe THAT...

Also, vote on whether I should start a model railroad only blog.

Of Trestles and Beads

I added some more nut/bolt castings to the trestle. Rusty ones!



Boy, that track sure looks naked without spikes. Hey, I forgot about guardrails!

Then I test-fitted it in place.



I had to scrape out a layer of the foam base that the railroad is on, and that left a mess of plastic popcorn beads all over the place. Even after vacuuming there were a few I missed!





I also brushed an alcohol/ink warsh over the new front-end loader, but we didn't take a picture of THAT!
