This is why I keep designing buildings
I’ve moved the baseboard for my planned layout to a table, and put my current crop of buildings on it. There’s a long way to go, obviously.
The plan is to run a loop of elevated track, and fill the areas under and around it with Tokyo inspired streets and scenes. So I’ve got to get to work designing more buildings and vehicles whilst I save up…

PRR Hopper Kit
I just finished this wood PRR hopper kit by Ambroid. It was a little more complicated than I expected with all of the bracing on the ends. I learned some lessons in case I ever build another, that’s for sure.
The decals didn’t want to lay down. They seemed kind of thick and plasticy going on. I’m not sure if it’s because they’re old or that this…

I'm painting the layout!
I’m enjoying this phase of the layout, it’s starting to feel real, it’s becoming an interesting backdrop for the visiting trains. That said, my experience with paint is with a roller on drywall, but now I’m learning the right brush matters! I’m having fun trying different techniques, exploring various paints/stains, and learning color…
