    • Looks fantastic! The "Estrella" name is being kept alive on my layout as well, Larry. There will be a small mining camp called "Estrella Gulch" built next to San Lorenzo.

      • Thanks for the encouragement Dave, Les and Bill. I have to figure out some modifications to the mine building and build another shed so I can keep this project moving.

              • Just looked through this thread again, after a few months absence. The layout is looking good, Larry. I like the weathering you did on the Porter.

                • This is shaping up very nicely, great work Larry.

                  I like that it's evolving and adapting as new ideas arise.

                    • Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. I am trying to fit in the remaining structures today. I am trying to use up some prebuilt items I have.

                      • Looking quite good Larry. I agree those decal films are hard to cover up. I have stopped using them.

                        • I have been working on this project on and off, but have not been taking progress pictures.

                          Time to post a few.

                          Vernes fire cart from the E&SG RR was moved up to the distant copper mine today.






                          E&SG RR #8 headed home for the evening with a load of copper ore.

                          • An image from the back of the layout (the backdrop will end up eliminating future pictures from this location.

                            • Looking good. Are there plans to add this to a larger layout or is it a stand alone. Nice to see parts of Verne's layout showing up.

                              • All I can say is 'wow'...what a great little layout and what a great tribute to the E&SG!!! You have been one busy guy!

                                As to the other mine, there were several names thrown around, I am using the name Soledad (Solitary in Spanish) for my AV&W. I always liked the name Sonrisa (Sunrise).
