Well, as I finished the fascia around Weigh Scales, i got very ambitious and decided I had looked at bare Masonite long enough. So, I painted the fascia for the whole interior layout aisle with a color that I thought looks sort of like PRR Dark Green Locomotive Enamel. It is a very dark green which is good and bad. The good is that it covers well and hides dirt. The bad is that it shows dust easily, especially from your hand if you brush it. This view is looking back from Shamokin, the only unbuilt area on the layout.
As we walk down the aisle we go by Shamokin Creek Narrows on the right and the entrance to Northumberland Yard on the left.
Here we arrive at Weigh Scales and the panel is in and the jacks for the local cab are installed. Weigh Scale is now complete except for scenery.
Coming around the corner, the end of Weigh Scales is to the right and the future Icing Station is to the left where the construction material is.
We now look down the aisle to the bridge over the creek and Paxinos is ahead on the wall. The yard curves by on the left.
The east end of the Yard is on the left and Paxinos is along our right shoulder. I decided to start recessing the control panels here to avoid problems with people walking by.
Around the next turn and the diesel engine terminal is on the left and Crowl is on our right. Reed is in the distance.
Around the next turn and Reed is on the right and the turntable is coming up on the left
The end of the aisle and the main crosses the Susquehanna on an arch bridge . The double truss bridges are on the far left.
Here is a close up of Weigh Scales panel. A nice long gathering yard with a couple of industries. The color is much brighter than actual due to the flash.
This is looking towards Shamokin on the left and the high bridge up to Mt. Carmel. I have to finish this carpentry and fascia soon so I can finish the painting of the green fascia.
