The Roster

The urban planning and landscaping continues!

A few more picture and a video or two showing the progress I've made on the town. I do feel like I'm turning a corner as I think there is more 'done' now than 'not done'. Scott's benchmarke question seems to be "can we game on it?". Scott - the answer is now yes, we could game on it. Not all of it, but enough for a game.

Now on to the pictures!

This is the east section of the layout. We're looking north from the south end of the layout. The wall sections in the foreground are from Acheson Creations. The near buildings are from Armorcast.





Pulling back a bit for an overview. The old Marx tower is a placeholder for now. Trying to decide if I like a tower there.






Cheaspapeake Stree takes a sharp turn into town here. It's a light industrial area.





Another shot of Chesapeake Lane, this time at the intersection with Butler Street.





The Plasticville factory has rail service in the rear with the ability to load trailers as well. The yard signs are from Armorcast. They are actually 'business cards' with their name and number embossed in the casting.





Another shot of the Plasticville factory. It marks the start of the industrial area.





Looking north from the edge of the bridge, the Burlington Northern U33C is bearing down on the cameraman. Better clear that track quick! 



MOVIE TIME!

A short video showing the U33C hauling a string of freight cars around the layout.



And another short video as the train rolls through town.
