Mesa City Progress - Orchard Supply Hardware
Excited to report that a LOT of work has been done on Mesa City. The area around the wye has been scenerized. Got Orchard Supply yard finished up, added the buildings, and put up some fence. The fence was a bit tedious, but sure makes it look better. Pavement is 0.100 styrene spray painted a dark gray. The styrene was cut up to the ties. The pavement between the styrene and track is unsanded grout. Came out pretty nice! Test driving some of the rail cars. Once the pavement was down, started adding scenery. The 'dirt' is sifted play sand. The ballast is sifted "gray breeze" from the landscape materials lot. With that in progress, I blended in the new work with the old. Use a LOT of different textures and materials to get the siding tracks to look like they have not seen much maintenance over the years. Added fencing as well. To break up the massive pavement area, I put a strip of "dirt" with styrene curbs delineating the space between the lumber yard
