I think you add the police station - its a signature structure ..   the plans are available .. IIRC its the same design as Cumberland

Other things have been accomplished but just a quick pic.  Security silos are built and first coat of paint.  Need to putty and sand some seams

More or less, and without the basement level baggage rooms.  I believe Hagerstown might be a hair smaller as well, but you go showing up at the Police Department with a tape measure and a camera, and they're bound to have a few questions....

I used to deliver water there, if I still did I could probably get away with it.

If you know -










About 2 years ago, Adam asked if there were any good office trailer models -- I finally got around to ity

Welp, now the printer definitely needs to get fired up tomorrow

Wired up a half dozen frogs and decided it was time to deliver freight to Hanover.  I had put a L137 together in the yard so put some power on that and ran train to Center St and Smiths Siding

I went back and cleaned up the crew trailer, as I went a little too far on weathering it.  Before and after





A while back I bought some masonite, I had Lowes cut it down to 24"x8' sheets.  Figured my max level separation would be 18", leaving me a 6" piece for fascia.  I'm not set on where my second level will be, but with layout tours coming soon, I figured I'd mount the masonite in order to block the view across the basement so you can't see the train "thru" the walls.  I think it will make the run feel longer at least





Once I figure the height, I'll take back down, cut and rehang.  I don't have enough to do everything now, so I strategically placed them so everything is covered one side of wall or the other

The trailer does look a lot better with more white in it .. i think in real life, things like these just become dull and chalky and dusty .. I've never been able to match that

[John]

My masonite is cut to 12" .. if I add a 2nd deck on this version of the layout, I'm going to make it lower, so it will work out for me .

A ballasting I will go....

99 bottles of ballast on the wall, 99 bottles of ballast, use one up, spread it out, 98 bottles of ballast on the wall....
