The WOD - NMRA Saturday Meet-up

I found it interesting that a lot of the layout is only one foot wide, but still offered a lot of detail and trackage as seen in this view. There are areas that are less than a foot too.

This past Saturday our area NMRA group gathered at two layouts, one in Thorndale and the other in St. Mary's. We had lunch between the two visits at the St. Mary's golf course. We also did a group shot out front of the St. Mary's station. This post I am focusing on some of the details of Davin Heinbuck's Texas based layout. Don Janes covered the layout and an operating session there last fall on the blog...George Dutka.

All rolling stock on the layout is very well weathered.

Some of the larger buildings are flats, while others are smaller but effective in the scenes.

Davin's backdrops were well done with the roadway matching it well.

The fueling station had a nicely weathered concrete pad.

Davin uses code 100 flex track which he weathers well and Woodland scenic ballast. I thought he did a very nice job with the ROW.

Ex-VTR hopper all weathered up.

The WOD members that stayed behind to operate listen to instructions from Davin who is in the white shirt.
