For those of us that enjoy the old 'birds eye view' it can bring a lot of the project together and give us a sense of how the 'region' is shaping up. Still not able to post any shots of the G&DRR but I sure do enjoy your layout. Happy Easter, or Passover or whatever other holiday anyone might be observing. Kyle Country: USA | Posts: 477 Arizona Dave Fireman Premium Member Posted - 03/25/2016 :  2:11:18 PM       Thanks Kyle. I'm working on an updated track plan today since the last one is now waaaay out of date. Will post soon. David Meek Country: USA | Posts: 1114 Arizona Dave Fireman Premium Member Posted - 04/01/2016 :  5:31:46 PM       Today on the Thunder Mesa blog, we have the untold story of how Theodore Roosevelt helped to save the railroad and preserve Nature's Wonderland for the enjoyment of all. http://thundermesaminingco.blogspot.com/2016/04/natures-wonderland-teddy-roosevelt-and.html David Meek Country: USA | Posts: 1114 railman28 Fireman Posted - 04/01/2016 :  6:33:13 PM     Love the picture It's only make-believe Country: USA | Posts: 5823 Geezer Engineer Posted - 04/01/2016 :  6:56:41 PM     Dave - you certainly have the "Knack" for the hoo-doos... and all the rest of the scenery too. Your "desert" modeling doesn't leave anything to the imagination. Well done! Country: USA | Posts: 12973 Grant Whipp Engine Wiper Posted - 04/01/2016 :  9:32:07 PM     That was a great read, Dave ... ... enjoyed it immensely! Anxious, as well, to see further progress reports on the layout itself ... ...! As always ... CHEERS!

Doc Tom Country: USA | Posts: 673 Arizona Dave Fireman Premium Member Posted - 04/02/2016 :  1:52:36 PM       Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed the story. Coming up with plausible backstory for such an implausible railroad is half of the fun for me. Just a small update: I've finally got all the track painted throughout the entire layout. Now I can move forward with ground cover and ballast around Thunder Mesa town. This is the paint I use on my track: Krylon "Camouflage" Ultra-Flat Brown. The color is just about perfect as a base coat. Later, some ties will be picked out and dry-brushed with acrylics and both ties and rails will be weathered with chalks. David Meek Country: USA | Posts: 1114 Bill Gill Fireman Posted - 04/03/2016 :  08:09:00 AM     Dave, As always, you've created another fun back story for the railroad and its environs. Wouldn't be surprised to someday discover old photos of Chuckwalla Slim & Sparky leading T.R., when he was there, on his hunting expedition. I've used Krylon camouflage paints for a few projects and really like how flat they are, but they seem to be hard to find around here lately. Country: USA | Posts: 3290 fireman93514 Crew Chief Posted - 04/03/2016 :  10:10:23 AM     Great story Dave. Although I heard Teddy also bagged a couple of Jackalope on that hunting trip.

As for the camo paint, they don't carry it at my local Home Depot either but Ace does have it.

Country: USA | Posts: 11981 Vegakat New Hire Posted - 04/04/2016 :  10:51:50 PM     Dave. Been lurking here for a while, following your layout and the late Vern Niner's layout. Love both of them and love how your incorporating his story in to your back story. As a Disney fan love your inspiration for this railroad! Enjoyed your latest video, music adds a lot to it!
