Progress Report 02.23.13 - Ballasting & Decaling

This evening, I had a short window of time to work on the layout.  I managed to spread and glue ballast at Joliet Grain Company, Electrolux and GE's rear spur.

Later this evening, I worked on decaling.  I haven't decaled anything in probably 15 years.  I wasn't that great at it back then either.  I did managed to get the large "R" decal applied to one side of the six coal hoppers.  As with anything I have done on the model railroad, more practice makes perfect.  By the sixth car, it was looking pretty good.  I figure what doesn't turn out well can be heavily weathered to hid any imperfections.

Here's a photo of one of the decaled cars.
