2-22-05 I spent the last week painting the walls of my train room with Alaska scenery. I know it is not professional, but I think this will do. What do you think? I still have two more walls to paint yet, but won't do that until I finish this part of the layout. I will then expand the layout to the rest of the room. I think that will be a long time off. LOL. I have a lot of work as it is to get it done. I figure this was the time to paint the walls as I am waiting for parts for my FP7 project.

3-10-05 It is amazing what you can do with cardboard, staples, masking tape, newspaper, plaster and paper towels. I now have my platform contoured. Things are taking shape. I also built a valley and stream that will go in it.

3-23-05 I got my bridges and trestles in place now. I had to assemble most of the bridges and trestle. The smaller trestle I created using balsa wood. I have to start making my rock formations to add to the layout then the ballast for the track. I am getting more done then I thought I would. It is a lot of fun!! I thought I would show off my Overland SD70MAC in the pictures.

6-5-05 I have gotten to the next stage in my room. I have the base colors on the entire layout. I have used almost 75lbs of plaster to get things to where they are now. I will start on the detailing next. As you can see I have been bsuy for a while!! LOL

9-15-05 I now have my background for future custom painted models. I am still going to have a railyard. I have decided that coal will be my industry in the railyard as well as containerization. I will be looking into starting my FP7s soon.

01-27-06 Here is the final pictures of Part 1 of my trainroom. I was going to give you pictures from start to finish of my Coal Mine Operation. The UMC Harold version. LOL I used the New River Mine Company and had my custom decaler make UMC Decals for me to at least make it look like an Alaska Mine Co. Used rust paint to weather the building and then created the land scape around the building.
