Scenery Work Update 03

 Ballast Set

The ballast has been bonded and this section of the layout is ready for static grass and various scenic textures.

Until next time,

Scenery Work Update 02

 Weathering Track Ties

With the completion of my Herrin Micro Layout project, I am concentrating on the next section of scenery work on the OASIS. I painted the ties from the completed scenery work on the right side to the left edge of the canning plant. This will leave less than a third of the layout baseboard remaining to weather and apply scenery texture to.

I used the same weathering procedure as I did for the completed section to the right toward the Rock Island interchange track. I will let this dry for a couple of hours, then begin ballasting the track. Static grass and various scenery textures will be added after the ballast dries overnight.

Things should start rolling now barring any unforseen issues or work obligations.

Until next time,

Tom
