Welcome to the Louisiana Central Blog

Posted on by

I’ve decided to try using a blogging format for posting minor updates and various tidbits relating to the railroad and its construction.  I’m new at this blogging thing, so feel free to guide me in the right direction if need be.

I’ll continue to post significant events, construction milestones and web site changes and additions in the “What’s New” tab on the Louisiana Central web site, and I’ll keep a running commentary of my trials and tribulations here.

So…let’s get this started … Jack Shall

  1. OK then….registration was fairly simple and straight foward….(9.6)
    Access to this Blog …EASY..(10.0)
    So….what else do you need from us?

    XAST

  3. XAST says things went well for him. Anyone else care to voice an opinion on the ease (or difficulty) it was getting started?

    Also, would this be something you might read on occasion (assuming that the things presented were of reasonable interest)?

    I think I have taken all of you off “moderated” status, so future messages should show up quickly. We’ll see.

    Thanks to you guys for taking time to help me out with this.

    Best regards,
    Jack

    I logged on easily and was easily able to change my password for one I could remember.
    I will check this blog on occasion although I don’t expect you to say anything interesting. LOL
    Will we see realmopacman Saturday?

  7. Yes, it is quite blue. Before I painted the room, I painted a large sample piece and compared it to the real sky several times at different times. In general, it matches the “mid” sky (but is darker than the sky typically is at the horizon). Of course, it depends on the day, the light conditions and the direction you’re looking as to how it compares. Heck, even bright orange matches if conditions are right when you compare 🙂

    Since I have virtually no artistic abilities (and no one will volunteer to help with that), I will probably take the chicken way out and paint my clouds using spray cans and stencils. One of the side effects of this technique, particularly if you do plenty clouds near the horizon, is that the overspray will significantly lighten the areas around the clouds. I had that happen on my last layout when painting that backdrop.

    In this case, I’m depending on that happening so as to give me the lighter sky color near the horizon that I’d like.

    We’ll see when I do it, which shouldn’t be too far down the road as I want to do it before erecting the benchwork.

    Regards,
    Jack
