Currently have two layouts, one for operation, the other as a test track for DCC-EX and other projects.
This update there has been a few more modifications. I shortened the shed that sticks off to one side. I thought it looked to long and it just looked out of proportion to its surroundings. Some paper lap siding and trim with paper brick and paper shingles. The rolled roofing is just spray painted masking tape. I have also thought up another modification I will make to the front of it later on. Things always change as it starts to come together.

A short clip that I did not include in my last video of me adding spikes to the trestle
I have started to add siding and roofing to the mock up. The colors I chose didn’t translate as accurately as I had imagined to the photo paper but it’s ok for a mock up. It’s more important just to get it covered so I can get to the door and window arrangement and placement. I haven’t had much time to get any further with it.
Well as for now, I have completed all the add ons and bump outs for the structure. I will next cover it with siding and some brick and shingles all printed on glossy photo paper. Then dull it down with a matte finish to kill the shine and the decorate it with windows door and signs that are also printed on paper. I may add chimneys and vents but that seems more like putting actual parts on a mock up. At the end of it all, this is just a mock up. Next update will start to look like something more like a structure instead of a frosted white cake 🎂 until next time 😁
Tom. A little update on the progress. First is the pink foam mock up that I crudely slapped together to get an idea of how it would lay out from my sketch. It’s pretty much been heavily modified from what it started out as and is no longer needed. Currently there are 37 separate pieces and the building has become quite massive and complicated. It may be too much but I will see how it continues to change and evolve. It will all make a lot more sense with doors and windows and siding which I might start on next week hopefully 🤞 I keep going back and making changes as things evolve. I’m sure that will continue till the end.
