Facia installed and a new passenger train
It's been awhile since my last entry. I have been spending most of my time outside working on the house and the yard. But, recently the heat and the rain have driven me back inside. This has given me some time to continue working on the layout.
I just finished the facia on the layout, and that has allowed me to start working on the scenery along the edge next to the facia.
Also, I just finished changing the lighting to LED in a Western Maryland Passenger set that I found a couple of weeks ago at my favorite Train store, Catoctin Mountain Trains.
It is an MTH Premier 5 car set of heavyweights that was cataloged in 2004. The cars are so heavy that I had to go pick up another GP-9 to pull the train up my 3% grades. That led to finding a matching express reefer to go with the set.
