Progress Report 08.30.12

After working on it for the last few days, the layout has been re-staged!  It was quite a project this first time around since the major renovations getting everything straight.  It typically doesn't take that long to re-stage.

I really need to continue the weathering of the freight cars.  The weathered cars look 100 times better than the non-weathered cars.

I think this weekend I will work on locomotive coupler heights and some scenery in the new section.  The locals are demanding new roads and infrastructure be built!
