Just A quick update. I had an idea that I wanted to see on the layout, if you been following I am building a larger layout and always am looking for some help on projects. This one fell into a project that my friend Mike Whiteman.

August 2020 update Hope you enjoy the video update.

Here is how I paint and make my mortar lines that I cut on laser. Hope someone finds it helpful.

Here is the second video on my tools that I use for scratch building.

Hello all I got two videos up this week the first is a continuation on the UP freight house in Denver that I am scratch building. Looking at the mock up.

I was ask to share so I will this is how I go about building a prototype building. But all the video will be just short 10 to 15 minutes. So this is a first look at the UP freight house in Denver. About a 10 minutes long this is not the only way just how I go about it.

Update on the 20th Street Viaduct all made out of MDF and cut on my laser, Even a train running in Denver. Short video (8mins) on how the viaduct is turning out.

With the New year a new project. I am modeling Denver in 1959 Rice yard is still in operation. With that comes working out how the backdrop and the foreground will tie together. So I am starting with the roads first up is the 20th Street Viaduct. I have some photos of the old viaduct that was tore down in 1992. I will cut most of the bridge out of MDF on my laser, and some 3D printing. One thing that is of interest is that the UP warehouse was build around one of the bridge pylons. This should be a fun project. The real life photo I got from the Library of Congress.

December will mark the Longmont Sugar Mill as good enough. I still have some detail work that I would like to do, but with a whole layout in front of me this will have to do. A look at AK interactive concrete product, and I do like it a lot. With the start of the new year we turn to Denver. Thanks to all that helped on this project.

Happy Modeling
