Greetings All,
More Layout Odds and Ends
The Empire Belt RR now has a Facebook Group!!!
After resisting the whole social media thing for years I came to learn that there is a vast amount of model railroading content available. I've been enjoying various posts and have a joined a couple of groups as well.
If interested please feel free to click the link and join.
Layout Enhancements
The annual layout vacuuming has been completed and some areas have been enhanced with additional scenery and mini scenes. Reliable Machine Works received a grassy area, a walkway and a couple of trees to cover what was just bare space.
A Prison Work Detail is needed!!!
A prison work detail gets busy cleaning the illegal dumping site on the dead end street behind Moore & Company.
Chooch Goes Deep!!!
The Kings Port Railway Society is train watching in Empire City today and between trains break out the football for a game of two hand touch. The KPRS guys are living on the edge(literally) and I wonder if they were told to go play in traffic!!!
An Allied truck makes a delivery to the corner building. That is Moore & Company in the background. The colorful truck catches the eye in an otherwise overlooked scene.
City Pallet it tightened up with the wood and pallets now glued in place. A smaller tree to the left replaced a much larger one that blocked parts of the scene.
Some trackside greenery complete the scene.
Consolidated Food Equipment Distributors gets the first sign.
The various tenants are now identified and advertising their companies.
The signs were found on the internet and printed on regular paper. They are glued to "skinny sticks'' from a local craft and hobby store that I cut and rattle can painted.
A close of the Brach's sign and three Hi Cubes getting loaded with candy corn for the Halloween rush.
Last but not least regarding the signs I attached this sign to the fascia as an easy reminder of who is where in the TW&CS complex.
Signs and More Signs!!!
Over at Terminal Yard in East Bedford, NY the Terminal Warehouse & Cold Storage Complex starts to get signage for the various tenants.
Candy Corn Update!
Like it or not Brach's candy corn is a huge seller and these three Hi Cubes are being delivered to Ralph's Grocery Warehouse and Distribution Center to replenish their depleted supply.
Thanks for reading!!!
See you soon!!!
Nice work on those little details Sir John! The signage came out great. Candy Corn from what I learned this past week is still a top seller for Halloween! I wonder if the guys from the KPRS bought some while in Empire City. Keep it up with the little details!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Sir Neal!!!
