The texture in these ruined rooms is incredible. Sadly they looked more vandalised than I remembered from my visit 2yrs ago. I've been planning this shot since then but to be honest once I'd taken the other photos last night and moved on to this it was about 10pm and pitch dark and I couldn't find the particular suite of rooms I remembered! This wall and doorway had to do and I am pleased with the effect and will return soon and locate the correct room/doorway!
Buchanan Castle is a Category 'B' listed building that is in a ruinous state and is on the Buildings At Risk Register. This Stirlingshire estate was in the hands of the Buchanan family from the early 1200's but the line failed in the C17th and the estate was bought by John Graham 3rd Marquess of Montrose. The old house burnt down in 1850 and this new one was designed by William Burn. It is big with a 4 storey square tower, turrets and bartizans. The Dukes sold the house in 1925 and it served as a hospital in WW2. It is another of those places in that long list that housed Rudolf Hess after his flight to Scotland in 1941*. The roof was removed in 1954 and it has been getting steadily swallowed up by nature since with mature trees growing in several of the rooms and passageways. It must have been some place in its heyday.
*I will need to see if those other two well-travelled stalwarts of Scottish culture Bonnie Prince Charlie and Mary Queen of Scots ever spent the night here.

Woodland Scenic's plaster cloth comes in rolls 8 inches (20 cm) wide. I use ordinary scissors to cut the plaster cloth on my craft cutting board into manageable pieces. In this photo you can see some plaster cloth draped across a mall section of Woodland Scenic's SubTerrain Risers that I use for sub roadbed for my railway track, highways, and city streets.
The plaster cloth is briefly dipped in cold water for a few seconds and placed over Risers, Inclines, and various forms I use to create city blocks, hills, fields, creeks, etc. The wet plaster cloth is laid in overlapping strips that dries in a few hours to form a strong, fairly smooth shell that I paint with ordinary interior latex paint in earth colors and add earth or grass ground foam.
Orléans is the capital of the Loiret department and of the Centre region. A city steeped in History especially surrounding "The Maid of Orleans" more commonly known as Joan of Arc, he house still stands in the city, as do many semi-timbered buildings from the middle ages. this is a building just around the corner to Joan's house.
Purchased by the Pacific Imperial Railway (aka PIR) the successor in interest to the Carrizo Gorge Railway, these three former CSX GP40-2's sit rotting away in the sun on the end of the Desert Line at Plaster City California. Word has it, that these three GP-40's are essentially useless to the PIR because they are grossly under-powered for their intended purpose of pulling double stacked well cars through the gorge to Division on the Mexican border just South and West of Jacumba. Currently, the PIR is involved in a number of management and money problems, the most recent being their newest president (they change like the seasons) is in trouble with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Interestingly enough, a year ago these units were tied down about a 1/2 mile east of their current position and they had to be moved when the UP (the railroad that brought the units to Plaster City) told the PIR guys to get their train off the UP track. Additionally, rumor has it that the units remain unpaid for by the PIR and the former owners are not as of yet, able or interested in going through the grief and expense of reclaiming them from Plaster City. A noted observation from a year ago in 2014, it appears that when the units were moved off the UP track, they were operated a few miles westward where they grabbed four derelict box cars from a string of about 20 sitting on a siding closer to Interstate 8. As to why the operators who moved the three units needed the box cars brought down to Plaster City, who knows. Perhaps it was to have some extra axles to tie down the train because things in the desert are likely to move by themselves in the night (the mind set after the Dubber's Spur incident) or perhaps the PIR guys felt it was necessary to create the illusion that a railroad is actually working out there, and this was a train that was just tied down after a day of switching. It makes one wonder.....
