I have NO idea how that wheel got there - i haven't been up this end of the railroad, since the construction!! I have no answer how long that wheel has been buried... No answers for the Board... :( :( :(

Somewhere there is a LPB - That is in real - real trouble.............

Now, how I did it..... :)

The Light Green brush is from a green carpet that happens to be fraying :)

The dirt - is pastel chalk - spread around with my fingers - tinted as I went

The Wheels - are from the same axel - I cut the wheel in half with my bench grinder, just grinded it down on the wheel :)

Then I glued everything down :)

Seems to me then your the LPB who's head must roll even if you did use the "carpet" on your layout. :D Fred

I didn't really explain that. :)

Our cat decided that the basement rugs were old & perfect for sharpening his claws :D He's sending little clumps of green all over the floor under the layout.

Who am I, that would throw out perfectly good scenery! :eek: :D :eek:

Dont know if it can be used in other scales, but get a dark green rug somewhere & try it. :)

Great job Mikey! Looks real nice!

With this past week I don't have much to report. Too many football games and Halloween stuff. The only thing I did was add one set of numbers to the sand dome. Still have the other side to do.

Too busy working on my module to take photos to post... :D
Let's see...I got the vehicle road laid and painted. Did some more ballasting, fixed the turnout that had gravel stuck in it, :rolleyes: got my hands on the electrical connectors I need to do the wiring (which I am still avoiding). Installed and painted the road crossings. I think that's about it. Oh yeah, I started work on my main structure for the module as well.
And today I ordered a few structures from the Con-Cor web site. :) Naturally, the ones I really wanted are no longer available. :(
I will need to visit the LHS real soon. Been awhile since he's seen my wallet. :p
