Now planning a 2' X 8' addition that will focus on a compressed pulp and paper mill site. Track design is not fixed for the moment, but it looks like there may be an option for a reversing wye, of sorts. Still working on it. . . .

A Year Later. . .
Wow, has it really been almost a year since the last post? Oh, well, a little activity today to place a load of pulpwood on a pulpwood rack.
A buddy in the hobby found a pulpwood load at a local swap meet and picked it up for me. He said I could have it for an arm and a leg, so I jumped right on it. . . .
One problem was that it was too long for the pulpwood rack I wanted to use.
The ends of the pulpwood bolts seemed a bit yellow compared to other sticks of pulpwood I had around so I tried mixing fawn, licorice, and sunny yellow acrylic paint with a little bit of water to get a wash.
Since each brushful required a little more mixing, the color is not uniform on the pulpwood -- probably a good thing!
For the moment, I'm very satisfied. Looks good on the layout but now I think all of the pulpwood ends could be lightened up a little.
