Ah Ye Olde WPF again!
I managed to get a start on the General Electric plant the other day, here it is about half done.
I will need to make two operating overhead doors and I'm thinking tortoise machines?

I,ve been working on a new building for my layout, the Walthers light and power kit.Its not finished yet, I,ve still got to put one walls worth of windows in, and then fit the roof. I sprayed it with Tamiya red brown,and picked out the window sills,and the concrete wall bases with Tamiya buff acrylic brush paint.I used different shades of brick red, to pick out individual bricks. To tone down the red brown, I used cream coloured powdered chalk dust, applied with a piece of sponge rubber.The wall next to the building, shows how the building looked before the chalk went on.I used a can of green spray paint from the local hardware shop, to do the doors and windows.

Over the past 3 weeks, I have showed my fictional City of Heartland. First was Union Station; second was downtown; and third was industries.

This week I will head westward down the mainline from Heartland and we will go through Valley Heights. We will see a large bakery, Standing Falls in a village with Victorian homes, a small station, and the mainline continuing west in rural territory.

The town of Valley Heights is the junction where a branch line connects with the main line.

My railroad is a fictional division of the CB&Q called “The Heartland Division” it has mostly CB&Q, GN<, and NP locomotives in the late 1940’s to the early 1960’s.

Not a water tower. Advertising. That was an ad for Heinz Ketchup. There used to be big ads like that in big cities everywhere. I used to see one when I lived in Germany many years ago that was put up by one of the big beer producers there.

Garry - All I can say is WOW! I like the Victorian homes.
Jeffery - There's a town in Il. that has an old Ketchup plant that has bottle shaped water tower. They promote it as the 'World's Largest Ketchup Bottle' It right on old Route 66.
Beautiful work this week everyone again.
