The advance painting of the details will help me complete the next 8 feet of layout quickly when the modules are built. I have pushed hard and painted 77 PLM figures in the last month Additionally I have finished well as over 500 details from many vendors such as Barrels, crate, duckboards, a frames, shells etc. Here are all the figures grouped together.

Progress has been slow as a result of a new job and the associated travel. I have been able to start to build and paint some PLM figures and kits. Here are a couple of dozen of the close to 200 figures I need to paint. They still need to go through a final screening for errors and then weathering.

Fantastic!

The model and the fitting of the RC are exceptional. Very cool!

Time to check in. Not a lot of modeling time lately. Some progress creating 3D trench A frames for loads as well as metal prefabricated ties. A number of kits are inbound or in progress. I was finally able to acquire a Wrightlines Baldwin 4-6-0 that was built (still looking for kits). The Baldwin will be carefully taken apart to add DCC / Sound and a keepalive chips. A quick picture of the Baldwin before it gets modified.

And now for something completely different!

Wow, that is an interesting scratch build. Looks great. -
Kevin, the craftsmanship is amazing. I'm inspired to hit the work bench.
-
Gilbert, I went to visit your post and got inspiration. If you have any dimensions for the height of the hospital wagon could you please share.
-
I just found this post and the quality of the modeling is exceptional. Looking forward to more posts.

My modeling friends are amazing. I got home from a 3 week business trip to find a box containing an article from WW1 for me to keep safe. A Princess Mary Christmas Gift Box. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Mary_Christmas_gift_box I need to find a great way to incorporate a scene using this.

Thanks for sharing.

Stunning pictures.
-
I thought I should share the insprational pictures for some of the scenes.

Father Dougal, Here are a few more pictures for you. The Winter scene is a 12" Pizza layout that will use to display any figures I acquire in winter wear.

It is time to share some progress of the RR I have been working on. The Corps of Canadian Railway Troops - Europe 1918. It is a show display to be used in North America. The build was partially inspired two builds on this web site. Up the line-1918 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/1344-up-the-line-1918/ Ferme du Pont wdlr-1918-0-14 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/10888-ferme-du-pont-wdlr-1918-0-14/ If there is interest I can post more pictures.

Happy Trails Kevin, good luck at the show.
-
Kevin, I hope the show goes well. Looking forward to the coupling progress post.
-
Wow, great to see you got to attend Kevin. I hope the picture somehow finds it's way across the pond or for sale. The trailers look amazing.
-
Great to see some progress pictures. The figures look good as does the Locomotive.
-
Thanks for the explanation Mike. I will do some experimenting on this side of the pond to see what I can do.
-
Thank you for sharing the new pictures. How are you connecting the wagons to each other? That is my next hurdle as well as finding decals for them.
-
Have you made any progress? I am working hard to get 11 feet of my WW1 railroad completed by 11/ 11 and any inspiration would be helpful. Cheers, Lars

The simplex looks great!

It is a hobby - It is not a punishment - I am enjoying it!

Glad to see you survived the heat. The pictures look great, how much did the two falling over soldiers in the second last picture have to drink? :-) -
Sorry for your struggles, I am following and learning. I just fought the axel issue and am not sure I am done. I wish I could make the flight over for the show. I will be interested in the coupling options you picked as a winner. I an using u shaped pieces of wire to connect my cars.
