I have been a member for quite a while but haven't posted much as I tend to post my regular progress on my blog. So if you are curious about the progress on my O scale layout depiciting the American Civil War era check out my blog at http://usmrr.blogspot.com Here are some shots from my blog showing some of the scenes that are further along. It's still very much a work in progress.

Outstanding in every respect. The workmanship and attention to detail is amazing. Peter Country: USA | Posts: 12335 Neil M Fireman Premium Member Posted - 11/21/2009 :  06:46:08 AM     That's a fantastic layout! I really like the overall look of what you have done this far and the backdrops look very realistic. I also really like the Potomac bridge. Great stuff!

Your blog contains some great information, revealing your research. Well done. And the level of detail on your layout is outstanding as well. Thanks for sharing!

I'm using your C&O Brooke Yard trackplan as the basis for my DELMARVA based N scale layout (on this forum Eastern Shore in N). Thank you for the inspiration and I look forward to watching the progress of your USMRR. Dave Country: USA | Posts: 353 Rick Administrator Premium Member Posted - 11/21/2009 :  09:59:20 AM     Bernard, I took a look at your blog as well. Lots of good modeling and historical information. I will visit your blog more in future to look through your older posts as well as keep track of your new progress. I do hope you continue to post progress here as well.

The backdrop is painted, right? Oil or acrylic?
