Another new back-drop and custom loco paint
Thanks for the kind comments, my backdrop work continues to evolve. The photos here show a small section of my layout loosely representing Pottstown Pennsylvania. This time I printed actual photos from train photos that I cropped, pasted together and painted on and around. I put in a stone retaining wall to hide the bottoms. The nice part is that the nuclear powerplant in the background is an actual photo of the Limerick plant in Pottstown.
Also, the green SD40-2 (not a great picture, gotta work on this camera) is nearly done. it is a Reading and blue mountain northern SD40-2 that started as a new Kato undec. I painted it and the decals had to be modified, as this is not quite the official look now, the decals use an "&" whereas the actual logo now uses "and" I also have a set of sunshades to put on but didn't get around to it yet. Enjoy.
