Just catching up here after a long lay off due to numerous factors.

The layout is looking great.
Regards
Wes

Very nice.

I have to say I love the look of the brown track in the dark gray ballast! :thumb:

Aloha,
tonight I did something that I've been meaning to get done for some time, but it never
happened.
Take some matches, drill a small hole, cut shorter and fit into holes drilled into the scenery.
Then take a fine thread and viola you have a basic fence.

Aloha,
Sunday night update.
Had a very nice weekend doing some small and enjoyable things on the layout.
First of I planted some more grass, also added a footpath and some trees with benches.
Footpath and grass.

One more, note the benches, I also made it close to the log that is lying there
in the grass so that people can also sit on that.

While the glue was drying I worked on the catenary and fixed a few more mast positions.
Also some ballasting work was done.

Off course I also worked on the last house, planted some of its grass.
Tried out the position of the Aloe plants.
This was the final place for them.

Then I had a little mishap, while cleaning in between different jobs
I accidentally vacuumed the one street light in and in the process destroyed it.  :rant:
Lets see if I can find one or two of these.
No night time photos yet as I have not connected any of these lights yet.
Will try to do so this week.
