Monday evening I cut the second profile board for the backdrop at Glenrock. I sanded the plastic to give it some "tooth" so paint woulds adhere, then cleaned it (I wiped it with a damp towel a couple of times to remove the sanding dust). Tuesday my wife helped me install it on the layout.
Wednesday was, and Thursday will be, too busy with borough activities to work on the layout. Friday I hope to have time to add plastic putty at the joint between sections. Saturday is a Timonium day at the GSMTS. By Sunday evening, I hope to be ready to paint the profile board with the background hills that surround Glenrock.
About Me
- Mark B.
- Allendale, SC
- I grew up in Wyoming, mostly living in areas served by the railroads I model. I remember standing at the window in our Cody Wyoming home, staring at night at the old Husky refinery across town. I remember the bridge across the creek and under the tracks between Powell and Cody. I remember always looking for trains as we travelled through the Wind River Canyon. And I remember my mother's last home - a mobile home in Evansville next to the Burlington mainline.
