Well after my cruise was cancelled last week. I had some time to mess around downstairs and finally got some progress done on the layout. First was ble to gete the basic structure done on the mill that will be in Bonne Terre. Im using the sanborn map as a guide for the basic shape and adjusting it to fit the area. the other buildings will be some form of photo backdrop that Ill try to play with this week. I also built a box inside the open door that I will detail to some degree later. While building this I was also building my first group of trees and am working on finding a better way to make pine trees. And lastly I finally got the group of 16 boxcars to the primer stage. I ended up building 10 MRBT 36′ boxcars showing the different mods from as built to the few that had their roofs rasied. the final 6 were M-I/I-S cars built in the middle teens. 4 will be lettered for the MI and the others for the IS since the relettering wasnt complete until 1925.
