Update photos of the "Sam Angrick Co." scratch built structure. in the Ashland Ind. Dist. on my HO scale CNW - Peninsula Div. RR. Also it is shown in it's location.

A New Structure for Ashland Industrial Area
I have started a new scratch built structure for Ashland Ind. Area. It will be the "Sam Angrick Co. which was a Furniture Mfg. Company (this was a actual company in Ashland, WI during the 40's/50's time period I model.)
I started the brick wall inserts with Walthers Modular Wall Panels. Here I am removing the various tabs. So follow along with the next postings.

Update on the town of Watersmeet (Road building)
Making of the road that runs between Ironwood & Watersmeet. Road being taped for striping. I cut the road out of .060 styrene, 3" wide then glued it to HO scale track cork to bring it to the same level as the track for the grade crossing.
Burnishing the tape for a good seal
Update on the town of Ironwood
Here is the update on the town of Ironwood, MI. I have built & placed all of the buildings that will go into town. Laid out & painted the streets and am now getting ready to paint the road striping.
All the buildings are either DPM or Walthers kits. Here they are primed and ready for the final finish painted to be done. A couple are already finished painted.
Starting the work on town of Watersmeet
I am starting to work on the town of Watersmeet and the connecting road to Ironwood (located in the window well)
This is the ramp down from Ironwood to the road leading to Watersmeet. The basic sub form is two pieces of 11/2" thick rigid foam glued together. The road surface is .060" styrene.
Latest update on CNW Engine Terminal relocation
It's been a little while since I posted a update on the relocation of the Watersmeet Engine Terminal on my CNW Peninsula Div. RR. So here it is: This is the new Machine Shop which will be mounted next to the Round House. It is a Walthers kit which I repainted and weathered added a couple of details - AC unit, tank, and additional exhaust pipes. Added a gravel roof also, great way to hide any dust.
The Structures for the Relocated CNW Engine Treminal "Goods Warehouse"
This update will be for the structures that I am building/and have built for the relocated CNW Engine Terminal. The first one is a kit bash (sorta). I got this building as part of a collection I bought a few years back to resell. I wanted something a little different then what the original kit provided. After some research I think that it was from the Pikestuff series, and was the Pre Fab Warehouse. Well anyway what I did was repainted and weathered it. I then built the raised foundation and dock as shown in the first two photos.
Update #3 for the CNW Watersmeet Engine Terminal Relocation
