New Buildings and Weathering
The newest structure for Denton is “Design Preservation Models Shultz’s Garage” that I purchased at the train show in January.  I added a metal roof for variety. This structure will be an automotive/farm implement repair business. Additional details like old cars and junk will be added after the scenery is completed. The stock yards received a paint job to simulate weathered wood. I tested a technique using chalk to simulate rust on one of the silos. The same technique was used on the barn.
