Hello all,

Here is a photo of a project organizer I built towards the end of last year (2020) to help me be better organized when it comes to the many modeling projects that I have. (For some reason the projects seem to multiply)

When I get more time I'll post more photo's as a how-to on this project.

Stay tuned.

Hello,

Another project I worked on and is now complete..........an old Ambroid wood kit for a Lehigh & Hudson River RR flanger.

Follow along as I build this kit from start to finish.

A short post about making cheap and easy coal loads.

This convention in my opinion was a total waste of time and money, I'll tell you why in later posts.

A few photo's of a small No-Rail layout I`m building.

A frame made of 1/2" birch plywood and 2" pink foam.

Getting a rough idea as to what goes where.

Cut the first layer of foam by using a template that I made out of masking paper.

Another project in the works,

A two track coal shed that was in the December 1979 issue of Model Railroader.

I wanted to build a model of this building ever since I first read the article in the summer of 1989.

I got bored and decided to build a new N scale layout ......reusing most of what I kept over the years.

Benchwork is built by ripping a sheet of 1/2" Birch plywood into 3" wide strips....the sheet I started with was purchased from a local lumber yard that sells quality wood, not the crap that Home Depot or Lowes sells.

The strips are then cut to length for what is needed for a given part..........frames are 2' x 8' with a 1' x 2' tapered section added on 1 end.

I have been working on a home brew transfer caboose.......the kit I`m using started out as a kit from Moloco.

In this kit was an Athearn 50' flat car kit..........I decided this was too big for this transfer caboose.......so I`m using a Tichy 40' flat car that I had built back in 2007 but did not paint until 2008, I had yet to decal this car so it was no loss to me to soda blast the paint off of the car where I needed to glue additional parts.

Hi,

Follow along as I build 7 HO scale SD40-2`s for my Birdsboro & Reading RR.

The raw undec. model.

Front.

Rear.......remember these two views.....they will look different later.

My first blog post ....so please bear with me.

Some pics of my model bench I built over the Christmas and New Years holiday weekends of 2014.

The first pic is of the old model workbench I had at the old house........at my new house it now holds the computer.

Now the pics of the new model bench.
