Finish the track laying and get some of it painted and ballasted.

Towanda

great update my vote is for structures. as for the hobby lobby trees I've found if you dry brush some gray and light brown on the trucks it gets rid of the plastic look and add some flocking or super leaves they look allot better.

Another great video!! More structures is my vote.

Refinery in ElDorado

Holcomb power plant

Refinery has my vote! Great layout! 👍

I would spend more time in the power plant area and the oil refinery area 😊 . On a side note …… the trees would very nice in background , they would blend in nicely. I also use “ O “ scale pine trees in the foreground ……. To show forced prospective…… that would be kool !!! 😊

Things find their way home with me 😄😄😄

Great Update! Sticky notes great idea! My vote is Structures.

Looking good - as usual! Keep on getting those structures built. They provide a good frame of reference for what you're trying to do in each scene.

Oh...and Let's Go Yankees!!!

Great update! Stickies are not an issue in the slightest, you do you. I vote for track weathering and ballast.

Hi K & W Railroader & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks K & W Railroader & Friends Randy & Oil Refinery & K & W Railroader & Friends Randy

I got to hook up with John at whistle Stop to do a video on N Scale. Thanks for the tip. Good stuff.

Pick a scene and finish it.

Structures. I don’t know. I didn’t see anything written on those post its and you didn’t pick them up after you talked about it. I would have found a blank post it and not remembered what to talk about and then because I left it there I would go back to it and talk about it again, lol.

I can see the layout is really coming together nicely now.. I think the post it notes are a good idea to help remember what has been done and a talking point. I was actually watching that video you mentioned at the start of your video on my Friday arvo here.. in Melb. My vote for this session is more structures please... enjoy your weekend and talk soon.

put a post it note on the shopping list : more post it notes !!

Great update, love the progress. I vote structures. It's really cool seeing all this come together.

Nice work so far with the structures. vote this week is for MORE structures.

My vote is the refinery area lol. (Track/ structures). Nice progress this update 👍. Have a good weekend - cheers Bob

Everything is looking good. I would like for you to pick one section of the layout, town, main line or yard, and finish the building and start a little scenery. Just a suggestion. Thanks.

Nice overview of your work…Structures

I vote for structures and you actually finishing one. Also are you going to model the wooden pipe line built by convicts?

Keep working on the buildings, They are the foundation for the railroad .

I’m probably too late, but my vote is for the Holcomb Power Plant

thanks for the update, making great progress! I think I am to late to vote....eventually got to the video at least! Sticky Notes are a great idea I think 👍

Looking great!
