Earwicker Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 The week from hell. I made my way to this place twice in the same week: Btu still managed to have some fun with the layout: 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earwicker Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 More density of the foliage with added tufts. This cactus scene is just a bit of fun. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y_Rail Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Very nice scenic work there! I really like desert-ish scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebEIRR Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Still looking good inspiration to build my own layout this is thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earwicker Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 A quick update. I've been distracted by work and health issues but I've returned to the modules, adding more scenic details. I'll change the colour of the road on this module I think with a bit more gravel and dust pigments. The whole thing needs some weathering to tie it together. Next is a whole lot of rolling stock weathering before I show this in October. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielB Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Very nice! You've got that desert wasteland look down perfectly, at least to my eye! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earwicker Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Very nice! You've got that desert wasteland look down perfectly, at least to my eye! Thanks. There are still bits that I'm dissatisfied and frustrated with but hopefully the next thing will be better. I'm hoping to finish these at the beginning of our summer down here (the winter has been miserable in NZ) and then I might start another single module after that, and maybe also a storage module. We are also moving house in the new year and I'm determined to find a place with a room for the layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2996 Victor Posted September 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 20, 2017 Superb work! Great inspiration as I'm just starting planning a US-outline railroad, myself, even though it'll be a different era and locale. Hope the health is improving! Cheers, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatlander Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Great modelling by the way! I live in California and you have done a great job with Needles! On the NCE, have you installed the current update chip? They can be a bit fussy if you do not. Also the track must be cleaned often as DCC is a with dirty track. Even new track Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earwicker Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the comments. I haven't done anything on this in a while because of work and my shoddy health, but things are looking up so hopefully I get back into it during our summer. The good news is that due to moving house I now have a dedicated hobby room with space to set this up permanently. Can't wait!

Earwicker Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 A new room for all the hobbies, including the layout. My wife and I also just returned from a trip to Europe and Japan, where I made some purchases. I sense a change in scale and prototype in my future. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickBrad Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So what happens with the beautiful layout? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell1976 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Earwicker, I had just found this thread today. I had just joined www.rmweb.co.uk a few days ago. Anyways, I have enjoyed looking at the pictures of your layout. You have done a really good job. Williams, Arizona and Needles, California is along the Interstate 40 freeway in the American Southwest. I have traversed along that highway a lot of times as a truck driver. You have captured the scenery aspect of that part of America. Keep up the good work! Wendell Idaho, USA 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
