I've been working a lot with laser-cut wood kits over the weekend. To start, I've built a CMR T-Trak double-size module in 14" depth. I'm going to make this into a S-transition module with the Kato animated Unitrack Crossing as the centerpiece.
Next, I added RS Laser Kits wood decks to a pair of M-T flat cars and added an AMB crate load to one and an AMB generator load to another. These are the first laser-cut kits I've ever built and I'm pretty happy with how they came out. I stained the deck of the crated car with a black ink/Pledge (formerly Future) floor polish wash. I might do the same with the other car.
And finally I painted the parts for AMB NYC 19000-series wood caboose and started assembly of it.
While not a weekend update, I am making weekly Wednesday night trips to the Bay State Model Railroad Museum to run some of my stuff. Here's a BLI Alco PA pulling some Con-Cor Dreyfuss coaches last Wednesday. Prototypical? No. Good-looking? Yes!

I'm probably going to sell the Con-Cor cars once I find some more era-appropriate coach stock.
