Some new structures and scenery update on the SP Burbank Branch in N scale
New structures and scenery update on first section of the layout to receive full scenery. I assembled, painted, and weathered several buildings to serve as warehouses or general industry-related structures.
I used Walthers kits as well as a scratchbuilt building flat from styrene to add a bit more depth to the backdrop. I also finished the bridge over the LA River.
Then, I added lighting with small LEDs and Woodland Scenics goose lamps to make the night scene more interesting and realistic.
In addition, I used styrene strips to build a wood grade crossing. I hand-painted the styrene with a mix of gray and brown acrylics. Then, I sealed everything with a coat of flat clear from a spray can.
Furthermore, I weathered the area between the rails using powdered pigments mixed with plaster of Paris. Then, I and applied the mix on the track with a flat brush. Finally, I misted the area with water so the plaster would set and seal everything in place.
