A New Project for a New Year

I have decided to make a change to my H0 scale layout, The Owensville Terminal OASIS District. I am adding a shelf extension to the left side of the layout that will curve around a wall corner and connect to another shelf (8" x 96"). My Wetterau Food Services Micro Layout will be on that shelf. The micro layout will now be part of my home layout. It will be utilized as a destination for a local working south out of Fourth Street Yard (OASIS District). Plan & Progress as of January 9, 2024 Track plan for the new arrangement WFS set up on new shelf. Staging section: This will be a hidden staging area that will have a low-level fascia panel installed in the front. I am using the 16" tail track section on the left side of the WFS currently, but I could change this out with a 24" section with another industry.

Soggy Bottom Hollow Micro Layout - July 2024 Update

Work is slowly progressing on the On30 Soggy Bottom Pizza layout after a bit of an idle period. rock faces installed and weathered creek placement and coloring applied depot construction (scratchbuild project) Progress Photo Gallery test run depot scratchbuild progress as of July 4, 2024 The Soggy Bottom Hollow Pizza Layout is my build project for 2024. My goal is to detail the layout and complete it by the end of 2024 at the latest. I am hoping to be able to display it at a couple of train exhibitions in 2025.

OASIS Extension Backdrop Update

I finally got around to painting the backdrop on the OASIS District extension. I used oil paints on the hardboard backdrop panels. The oils will take a couple of weeks to dry, and then I might tweak the painting a little, but for the most part it is completed. I will add tree armatures from Scenic Express (SuperTrees) in front of the backdrop to create additional depth in the scene. Scenery work will go quickly since most of the Wetterau Food Services micro layout already has scenery. I am also thinking about adding an additional structure to the left of the grocery warehouse to round out the scene. Backdrop Painting Photos Tom
