Photo elements for the Backdrop




I'm dry-fitting a couple of photos to the backdrop to fill in the gaps between the structures. Some of the photos are from the actual town of Owensville, Missouri. The railroad tower is a cut and paste image composition from an image on Google. I'll let these sit a few days before prepping them to be affixed to the backdrop.

Until next time,
Tom

Background Building Progress





The background buildings are taking shape. I purchased some photo backdrop buildings for the layout. An old Golden Valley Canning building from Walthers is being bashed into 2 separate buildings. Painting, weathering, and additional details are needed to complete the scene. I'm going to start on some scenery, track weathering, and ballasting work next.

Until next time,
Tom
