Used some of the 2-part tamiya putty recently and it's not for every job but it was very easy to work with.

I tried a couple different things but went back to classic 2-part tamiya putty and luckily it was not too old or anything. It's more on the stiff side but it seemed very workable both while drying and then filing or sanding afterwards, and it took paint well.

That's a good observation. I've seen and walked a few of those. When it's old canal routes you don't think twice about it, but discontinued railroads feel like lost opportunities.

It's definitely good to see rail projects still moving forward. You worry these days they'll buy the railroad and pave over the tracks for a highway.😅

I guess it would depend on whether Todd could feed from Odo's life force?

Todd the Wraith vs. Odo... who would win?

Great stuff! I'll have a tugboat right at the canter of my layout, but it's a container-ship-pushing harbor tug so quite a bit bigger. C'mon, you know you want to model a harbor area.😄

Alexandria is a metro station too and it's nice walking that area down to the river as long as you don't mind the long uphill walk back, but of course there's a bus line.

Normally that wouldn't pique my interest but since it's you I can't wait to see.I'm guessing it's epic?😅

Thanks for the info!. So this isn't the same as VRE is it, the one that serves light rail around DC?

That first pic reminds me so much of train travel in Europe back in the day.

A contractor chasing a building inspector with a fist-full of cash?
