Just a peak at the concrete tie flex track as I’m shaping it out to the curves.  This is where the Micro Engineering track shines.

The markings next to the roadbed are guides for masking tape that’ll be used to super-elevate the track.

Today I completed the mainline roadbed on the layout:

One thing I’ve read several times online by other modelers is the how overly wide the cork roadbed is, and I think I agree.  Having the roadbed beveled right at the edge of ties seems to give you a cleaner, more prototypical looking ballast line.  So once I get track curves shaped, I’ll mark the tie edges on the cork and trim the edges to narrow the roadbed.

Finished up the Car Shop kit this evening (minus decals).

The brick walls were painted Roof Brown, the doors and support beams are Stainless Steel, the windows are Pullman Green, the roof is Grimy Black, and the floor is Concrete.

The rail is Micro Engineering Code 55 weather rail. Got it from some extra pieces of concrete flex I had left over from the old layout.
