Ballasting in LaSalette

Progress on the Free-Mo module.

Over the last week or so I have been plugging away on my latest project, a Free-Mo module of LaSalette, Ontario. Since I have not been able to work on the Bronx Terminal in the last several months for a variety of reasons I agreed to take on a module for the CASO group that I have been posting about lately. I will be returning to the Bronx project soon, but in the meantime this is providing me an outlet for some modeling.

I have finished the sculpting of the roadbed using Hydrocal, finished painting the rails and have completed all the ballasting. The picture gallery below shows some of the work in progress.

Click on the first image in the series below, the slide show will automatically start. Once started, hover the mouse over the image to activate the “prev” and “next” buttons.

With the roadbed sculpting and Hydrocal stained, the ballasting can be spread.

Next, ballast is glued in place.
