Hello to Rail Road Modeler's !!!

This picture here is a corner diorama that has survived from the previous layout, I plan on adding this into the new layout i am currently building, and designing as i go. 

The WMT Scrap Yard has finally built a scale house to weigh the loads coming in.

Hello to all, here is the next addition to the layout. 

So what do i do in all my spare time, when im not working.. spending time with Boy, and wife.. 

at a 108 degrees on average right now, so its too hot to do yard work or be outside , since i work in it during the week,

I have been comfortably assembling the Baler and the Shear in the comfort of 76 degree ac, and detailing up the diorama  of the Wrecked mans treasure Junkyard from henceforth be short end to The "WMT ScrapYard"

As Promised here are the Pictures of my Scrap yard, 

I built the crane by using an old Railroad crane and kit bashing it some Bulldozer treads 

the Scrap metal is actual scrap shards from metal milling. For the ground coverage i combined Woodland Scenics Fine Turf,-  Soil, Earth and burnt grass , medium green. and some saw dust 

sprayed it down with some Alcohol mix , and glue water mix applied with a squirt bottle. Background is actual

pictures from Indiana 

Ok so i have started to Create Scenery and have changed the name from Rusted Treasure The Wrecked Mans treasure Scrap Yard.  started shaping the Foam and adding the muck and scrap ..pictures coming soon.. Meanwhile a little back story. ...... 

Ok so , i have started the Benchwork for my new layout, this section is 2'x4" and is labeled The Rusted treasure Scrap yard ... well for now its called that. 

started mounting the Shelving style benchwork at 11Am By 3:30 the sub bed and homosote road bed and track have been installed. Wired and soldered  ready for paint and ballast. 

last picture i started experimenting with the layout of the scenery for the Scrap Yard

Well i am again in deep thought on developing a new layout, and needing motivation ... i just cant seem to settle on a good mainline layout  and work my industry's into the right area to be realistic to prototype. inspired by Ken Rice post  from a  few days ago  I went on to Google maps and found several industries i would like to have on my layout. ..Lumber, Propane /gas/petro, general warehouse shipping, Quarry /crushed stone . set in the area of central Indiana era 1972 -82' ish.. 

Greetings fellow modelers of the greatest hobby on earth. I have been busy with the quarrie scene here are the latest pics. I have plastered the and started shaping the dig site, and adding color. 

As you can see the workers are diligently working to create  corridor for Truck traffic so that production of high quality styrofoam stone can be readily available..lol

Ok now for the real stuff, this pic is of the benchwork, and the next is the sub layers to support the soon to be quarry
