Vool track laying MOC!! It looks like it would be very much at home on any MoW
work crew laying track. I have always liked mostly yellow for MoW equipment too
(I’ve dabbled in MoW
equipement using TLG’s Classic 9V stuff as a guide). And maybe you could
convert this to all white white with thin red stripes if you want to represent
the current Union Pacific vehicles being used (like the hi-rail trucks, etc.).
It strikes me as funny that Real Life is imitating model railroading since the
railroads do lay track in pre-fab sections with ties already mounted (like
flextrack) to track to speed up the process since time is money and any delay in
the trains going through means lost revenue.
One minor nit-pick tho...the weeds growing along the right-of-way probably
should not be so uniformly neat and tidy in a straight line equally spaced apart
like that. Randomness would probably be more realistic if you’re so inclined.
Other than that, this is a great job!!
STFS :^)
