Now that I have completed my rant series on freight traffic actually having real meaning, I'll return to documenting some completed projects.
My Old ConCor RDCs have returned to their home rails after being decaled for their home road by friend Bob (Ntrainz1).
The local commuters are thrilled!

I got tired of taking pictures of the north end of the rail yard that had a mauve (?, I am somewhat color blind) wall background. My wife wouldn't let me paint the 4th loft wall sky blue because it would clash with the downstairs colors, so I added a "sky blue backdrop". I got one of those school presentation boards from AC Moore, cut it in half vertically, and painted it my sky color. Naturally painting only one side warps the board so it spent some days under weights. I added a 1"x3" lip under the edge of the 3/4" plywood base and then used a 1"x4" board to sandwich the presentation board to the end of the layout. Naturally it was the layout end over the steps so I had to use one of those very heavy ladders that contort to 26 different position. Not elegant but functional and a reasonable cost solution.
