But your front three quarter view of loco and train next to the rock really does it for me. The loco looks so purposeful and the rock faces look like igneous overlaid on to sedimentary, something we see a lot round here in Snowdonia. Interesting, the use of "Mexicans"...very non PC, but us (ex) racing cyclists call leisure riders "gringo's"...OK, I will write a letter of apology and resign now :-)Iain Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633733907566547236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-15862124366910952812013-11-16T13:32:02.143+11:002013-11-16T13:32:02.143+11:00Iain

One of the things with a largish layout is that there can be so much to do and not all of it is that enjoyable.<br /><br />If you want to see really good rock faces then have a look on my blog list at South Coast Rail. If you scroll down his posts then do try to ignore his recent aberrant foray into Victorian Railways. There is a friendly inter -state rivalry between us in New South Wales and those 'Mexicans' south of the border. ;-)<br /><br />I have a lot more foliage to add to get the right effect. I might do some more when I move further along past the Cox's Gap signal box.<br /><br />RayRay Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624865987062727847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-13036497767528182332013-11-16T01:55:01.415+11:002013-11-16T01:55:01.415+11:00A good move, divesting the layout of that Hi-volta...A good move, divesting the layout of that Hi-voltage run, but I understand how you must have had to psych yourself up for the job. Now you can bask in the low-voltage LED glow of a job well done :-) I would, if it were me, paint the undersides as they will reflect light onto the layout and give an ambient background luminence, albeit a slightly blue one.<br />The rockfaces are looking great.Iain Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633733907566547236noreply@blogger.com
