Getting’ There

We’re getting there slowly.


Ballasting is also not one of my favorite jobs. You don’t have the wiring contortions you just have the repetitive applications, waiting for drying, vacuuming, re-applying cycles.

A particular problem on the PRSL is how do you handle ballasting the center section between the 2 remaining mainlines. Following removal of the center track, the weeds begin to grow,  the old ballast discolors, and so forth. Remember I am still color (blind) challenged so it is a crap shoot for me. Over time I am sure folks will make suggestions and there can possibly be upgrades.


At least the first pass is done.



Still need to cut down the stores to fit against the backdrop, finish the Westville water tower, add trees and then decide whether to start on the Timber Creek module (north) or South Westville.

I have a Walthers 1950s city water tower under construction but it is not a good match. Anyone know of a model more closely resembling the one below?
