I was going to make a removable diorama for my Marion shovel, but in the end I realized I could not build what I wanted without damaging my open pit too much. I did modify my open pit and lay some track and scenic a small area so the Marion has a home. I still plan on making a diorama in a small display case, but that will be another project.
In the end here is where the shovel will sit on my layout.
I used the rail from some N-scale track I bought. It is on non- ballasted track representing track just set there as the pit advances.
Here are the three pieces of equipment I have blogged about the most over the last year or so. It is time to add some details back on to #98 and #99 such as air hose and end steps. A few extra details for the Marion shovel are planned as well.
Until Next Time.
