I tried to mimic the Mansfield Line's south portal. After I took these photos, I used a light grey weathering powder to tone down the stain and give it some depth. It really gives it a realistic look. I have done that on my bridges as well.
Built by the Great Northern Railway in 1909, the 61 mile line branched off the mainline at the Columbia River and snaked its way up across Douglas County, WA to its terminus in Mansfield. In 1985 it was abandoned, thus closing the book on railroading on the Waterville Plateau. This blog is dedicated to preserving the history of the Mansfield Branch Line and Waterville Railway Co., as well as showcasing my scratch built HO scale models.
