Los Garagos rebuild.

Riograndad

Model Railroading, boats and oil painting,
Country flag
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,:devil::party:,one of the rooms upstairs has a Prehm figure couple (AT IT:tmi::tmi:)) I think the local Sheriff has a stake in the place;)as 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:worried:,should be able to get it looking the part if not completely finished!!!!LOS GARAGOS rebuild 003.jpg

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 list:whew:still 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:sweating::sweating::sweating::sweating:.

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)

Yes G force,not been around much,the odd visit but nothing to post as not much done to the railroad over the winter,in fact i think only 3 runs since christmas but now all a mad panic rush,almost finished new track and beds but planned extension on hold,:whew:.buying up plasticard sheets in bulk!!! and treated self to new loco on friday,Other "stuff" going on like restoring an old Swift caravan i got last year(and of course going out in it)finishing 009 indoor railway,model boats needed work too,long work hours and so on,but will be around and will post finished bits as i get there,in fact plan on starting new building tonight after dinner once home from work and then a few hours a day on it over the weekend after night shifts,,,all go init:yawn::yawn: Laters,,,Rio
