Paint worn by time, paper posters peeled off by the weather, humidity in the lower areas, ...

It just keeps getting better and better, if that is even possible. Hopefully, none of this most recently posted exquisite detail will be hidden behind the wooden fence in your final diorama.

Very good Phil. In the link I put in the first post are all the photos from the beginning in case you want to take a look.
Base for the diorama. It is lined with a 0.12 inch DM. It is somewhat larger than the template provided by Brett.
And a few small details.

I have started to glue and decorate the track and that is how it remains.

Nice trackwork. Saw that you correctly spaced the ties at the location of the rail jointer.

Small details like this show careful attention to detail and make for a very realistic scene.

Phil, the track is plastic, everything is joined in one piece except the rails.
Greetings.

It differs from the USS track in the gap between the sleepers which is wider, and the length of the sleepers, which in this case is shorter, having a width of 1.1811 inches.

The track is the same as the one in this photo, but the one in the photo is a rigid track. The joint plates between the two tracks are those of the brand.

Thanks Phil. There are many layers of paint and the process is very slow.
After a short absence, I make little progress with Balboa. Little but I like it.
Greetings.
