The First show

In November of 2009 The Harbor Module made it's first appearance at a model train show.  With exception of the concrete plant siding (which was put in temporary) all trackage was fully functional and painted. For painting the rail and ties I used thinned acrylic artist paint. The $1.29 kind from a bigbox craft store and the color I used is Vandyke Brown. The brown makes a very nice creasote tie base color, with highlighting and some gray shades to be added later. I indended to also paint the rail later, I like the Floquil Rail brown, I think its color look better than anything else and the Laquer based paint seems more durable on rail.



The sky blue NW2 with caboose is parked on the engine service track as the Milwaukee Road engines pump air on a transfer.





A pair of Millwaukee Road engines are running of some owed milage pulling a yard transfer. The covered hoppers in the foreground are on the siding for the future concrete mixing plant



Between the three industrial sidings and the carfloat, this yard can get very full. I think frequent transfers to a larger yard will be standard operating practice.
