The new Blog Header photo for October is a view of BSTX leaser 5859 hauling a car or two into the JSSX yard. The JSSX has leased (well, purchased actually) the engine from the Brian Smith Transportation Group.
Not a lot going on around the layout this week, but I did manage to get a little bit of ground cover done. And I mean it was really just a little bit. Here's a before and after look at that.
A couple of different sizes and colours of ballast laid as ground cover fill in the gaps.
A closer view of the base area at one of the pillars. The SD38 rolled into view just as I was getting ready to click the shutter of the camera.
I also found a couple of loose pieces of styrene strip, so I cut them into 4 foot lengths, and made a few pallets out of them.
Once I get these 4x4 pallets painted (should be soon, I hope) I'll certainly be able to find a place on the layout for them.
That's about it for now. Have a good week.
