Partially completed scene on the Port Kelsey
Since it looks like the layout may have to be dismantled in the coming year I have been hesitant to do any work on it, which is quite frustrating seeing that it has taken me 6 years to get it to this point, where the fun stuff starts. Building the benchwork, backdrops, roadbed, trackwork and endless wiring, I finally got to the part that I have long been waiting for, only to have to face the weighty decision of tearing it all out. It is reduced to a simple decision of keeping the layout and continuing on with its construction, or continuing on with Fast Tracks.
Fast Tracks won.
I figured that the ultimate destination of every model railroad ever built is a big dumpster, the only difference between what I am doing and what I had planned on doing, is the length of time before it hits the dumpster. I might as well keep working on it, at least I can enjoy the process while it lasts, and get a few pictures out of it.
So with this in mind, I spent some of the last few days working on a section of the layout I have been looking forward to completing.
When I painted the backdrops a couple years back, I did a section with a couple shades of orange for a future sunset scene. I wasn’t sure what that scene would be, it varied from time to time from a golf course, to a high trestle, to a bar (not a model bar, a real one, the kind with bottles and stuff), to this final generic scene.
I took a few pictures along the way and have documented the process here….
