It's all in the details, as they say!

Sven, you need some cormorants or pelicans sitting on your pier posts. I realize the droppings imply seabirds but 2-3 would be a nice touch. 😊

 Just a freight train headed by two GP 35s - nothing special, or?  Have a nice WE! Best, Sven |

Do you remember the Chesapeake Bay short line, BCR (Bay Coast Railroad) ?   |

Several years ago I bought some Micron-Art brass kits, which were then assembled, painted indifferently (since I didn't know where they will find their place) and were waiting for their time to come.  When we grouped them all together, we came to the conclusion that they already would make up for a little railroad shop. Thus, the idea was born, the BCRR will get some shops!  However, finding the "perfect" track layout was not so easy. A lot of "try-and-error" was necessary until we came close to something we really liked. The tracks are all Märklin (leftovers from starters packages and therefore very cheap). |

No surprise, BCRR will not move into brand new buildings..........   |

This was a hell a lot of a detail work - to fill up all the space around the tracks so that trucks can run over it but the railroading still reliably (!!) works as well......  - to be continued - |
