Does Big Al sell boxcars with graffiti and weathering? where did you get the graffiti decals... try dullcote on the first one you weathered... comes in a spraycan, it's basically a dull clearcote, not gloss or satin, but matte... I use a similar product on Minis for wargaming, to seal them once done, and make them not shiny, then I redo some details that I want to shine, like edges of metal and swords and such... the first one looked great to me. love the graffiti! the spray I use is by Valspar
Your layout looks good so far, I like that Oil storage kit bash and the other buildings you weathered, you should make a few of them up and ebay them off.
pretty cool you have to check out my first layout I'm working on now cool ies always good to learn from the mistakes other have made and I have mand plenty of them
Amazing!!! Really Amazing!!

Have you considered building some kind of structure to hide that exposed terminal block at 1:28? Or is that not possible?

I had a 8 by 14 foot plan by Lynn Wescott I built once. It was fun. You can run 2 trains on it, with no conflict.

Your looking good so far, LIke the looks of the scenery, and those old weathered buildings do look pretty darn good.
I hope I can pull off that old beat down look on a few things I want to weather up.
To bad your little far away to lay trains :-) I'm down the Quad Cities Davenport Area.

coming along nicely my friend some day i would like to 6x10 H.O. scale layout

Thanks Anderson. I think a 6X10 would be a nice size, it would leave more possible space for buildings etc, in the center.

From what I could tell, your first attempt at an HO scale model railroad is indeed a mighty fine one. Keep up the great work my friend.
