Dumb as dirt.  Spread on some Scenic Express fine dirt everywhere.



You can see how it's radically different when wet.  :scared:

Got some "green" drying now in front of a fan. I want it to be dry when adding more to it so I can better see the end result.

EDIT: wow the fan worked fast. Already dry:


And back to wet again  :D

Are you leaving your creek bed dry or are you planning on adding water of some sort.

I find myself having a difficult time trying to determine the best way to add water to my riverbed.

Creek will get water when the time is right ;)  Along with some clear greenish quarry water on the other side.

More moist madness.



And since it was out. Here is my big buck ($10) static grass set up.

@Chris333 , where did you find that great aluminum shaker canister for the static applicator?

e-bay it was some "vintage" deal. I just figured it would be nice to have a lid for some reason.

The scenery is looking great.   Things often look dire when wet, but transform as they dry.

Next round.


Building up some loose material that will be "loaded". Once it is build up and dry I will color it to match the rock wall. I also plan a small green quarry water pond.

Long time no see  :P   Slight change here, now working in HOn30  :facepalm:

Wanted to build a HOn30 Whitcomb So I started with a Bachmann MDT switcher. These are the new version with can motors, got them at Trainworld for $19 each.  I milled off the sides. Sliced off the center wheels, and added a super cap.



I have a Shapeways frame, cab, and hood on the way. This is one of their Whitcombs around 1979:

Still waiting on Shapeways parts, but trying to narrow down the color scheme. These Whitcombs were bought in 1950 to replace 0-4-0 saddle tankers.
So here first is a 0-4-0 in the dead line:

I'm assuming this was the first paint scheme used on the diesels.

I know that is black and white, but it would have looked like this:


Then the lettering on the cabs changed to this:

Or was the lettering white?


Then around 1970 they got painted dark green with a white roof. Notice the roof number for when looking down into the quarry:


Then around 1980 they turned yellow:

When new owners took over the painted out the word "CARBON":


I plan to go with the 2nd photo of the early scheme with black lettering (since I can print it) So could any one clean up their logo so I can print it?



Best image I have of the logo (on a standard gauge loco):

This is where the HOn30 version of this is currently at. The layout is 20x42" using Peco HOn30 "mainline" flextrack.

I really admire the research you put into even the smallest of your layouts. It not only builds authenticity, but creates a rich and fascinating backstory.

Just can't believe this railroad was up and running just miles from me when I was younger and I only recently knew about it  :|

Here are the rock cars from Shapeways:

And next to the Nn3 model Jason made:
