HO Scale Sectional

HO Scale Sectional photos

The sectional build documented honestly — foam and cork first, then track, dual-color ballast, weathered rail, and a full engine servicing facility with fuel pad canopies and grated walkways. Power on scene: BNSF warbonnet Dash 9 #4704, ES44DC #7659, CN GP38-2 #4715, zebra-striped switchers, and a brass SD40-2 that hasn't seen the paint booth yet. Day shots, night shots, and everything mid-build in between.
