Fred has been working on his train this month and has started to create a canyon for his road to come through.
The kit to make the roads is so cool! I cannot wait to see what he creates. We will get HO scale cars, busses and passengers to ride on the Fred Highway! :)
Here is a close up of the canyon opening.
I love how the whole landscape is coming together.
Look at the mountain! Fred finished carving and painting the base. This is where the waterfall will be installed.
Now that the canyon is placed in the right spot, he has begun to extend the tunnel.
Here is a close up of the plaster cloth he uses to mold all of these structures. It looks just like the stuff to make a cast. We are all set if we ever break an arm or a leg in the Langer household. :)
Inside the tunnel ~ July 2009 Fred has made great progress in the last few weeks. I cannot wait to show what he creates next. It is so fun to see him make this amazing work of art!
Happy Thursday everyone!

I've always been amazed by the model train sets. Thank you M for sharing Fred's progress.
Wow! The detail is amazing!
That is so cool! Denny and I tried to get into train landscaping, but we just never could find the time. So we'll enjoy watching Fred's progress :-)
Pug hugs and kisses!

Wow, Fred has accomplished alot since you last showed photos. It looks amazing! I'm off to vote now.
Oh, I have been waiting to see how the set was coming along - looking very good. It will be wonderful when it is finished, but I bet he will always find something new to do for it.

Very cool, Melissa, honey.
I tell ya what.....tell the ol' boy I'll be happy to help him with his project anytime. I can...uh.....you know......stand around and talk and drink.
That is such a real life looking mountain and tunnel! Fred is really an artist too.
Will the HO trains be computerized? The engines? Or will any engine run on the tracks? My dads were not computerized. They ran on a switch.
Sure is looking nice! Good job Fred.
We voted now going to bed
