Los Garagos rebuild.

[Riograndad]

Hi all,not been about for ages,although been busy,new r3 tracks laid,new track beds and so on but the old low relief buildings had seen better days so new town started,what did we do before plasticard,so i thought i would post some "work in progress" pics,still loads to do,roadway,grade crossings,building and street lighting,more signage,repaint all the local people,cars,trucks and so on.The old town had a terrible reputation,all sorts going on and the new White Cat Saloon /Bordello lives up to it,,one of the rooms upstairs has a Prehm figure couple (AT IT)) I think the local Sheriff has a stake in the placeas he does`nt do much to stop it!!!,,,,,,,,i must say that they are removable when the kids are about and can only been seen with the lights on,you have to know they are there but yes its a bit of fun.Anyway,please excuse the debris laying about and when this little project is done the other town needs a revamp too,repaint and a few new buildings etc,oh joy,and all to be done before mid July as SWMBO is having a birthday bash in the garden she informs me,should be able to get it looking the part if not completely finished!!!!

Now that is a very nice block of buildings.
Well done Rio.

Thanks Mike and Korm,yes they out all year,tend to fade out well,but the local population does need to visit the paint shops every so often,nothing fixed down yet,may not be in that order as messin` around out there last night and was thinking maybe more of a town square type format,throw a another corner building into the mix,not sure as it would match better with the access hatch under the town and at the back near the garage wall needs some height so possibly a tipple or storage tanks,but with all iv`e got to do before SWMBO`s birthday bash it may just be on the end of my liststill another town to sort(only tidy up n couple of new buildings)but all should be at least presentable by then........she even had me GARDENING for a time last night.

well, i'm a little short on time and energy.
due to manpower shortage our volunteer fire department reactivated me about a year ago (i'm 65! they need everybody, who still sees the green side of the grass)
