I completed the grade crossing - well, the road part. The crossing gates will come someday at another time. I prepared the road the same way as before and finished with that dull-coat spray. Which still comes out a bit glossy, but it was successfully tested by my 3-year-old nephew with some Matchbox cars. The finish didn't scratch off, and both the cars and the trains successfully navigated the crossing. I'm happy with how this turned out.
I'm working on finishing up ballasting the main lines, which at this point consists of the approaches to the shipping channel bridges. I received the materials in the mail for the next project, building a milling building to go with the grain elevator. Or, at least what I think I'll need. I'm not naive enough to think that I'll end up needing something else to build it.
