Ways I cut cost on scenery materials

Hey Everyone!  Hope you all are doing well.

I've been doing some scenery on my Free-Mo/Model Display module and I've picked up a couple of ways that I can save money on materials!  I've put the tips together in a short video that displays the techniques on how I saved money and made some really good looking scenery.  Check out the video below and let me know what you think!

Have a great weekend!

Trying my hand at rebuilt 8 hatch reefers

CN had a sizable fleet of 8 hatch ice reefers.  Quite a few got rebuilt into mechanical reefers.  I'm giving a try at modelling these cars using 3D CAD for the various bits and pieces.  More here: doodling a rebuilt 8 hatch reefer

Relco MOW in HO scale - part 3

I finally received the remainder of the cars for the MOW train from Shapeways and have started building the well cars. Once I started the building process, I discovered that I had to make some modifications to the car. First the stirrup steps were too flexible and tended to break off when trying to finish them so I removed them and will replace them with metal steps. The major modification came to the slope sheets at the end of the car. I had to remove a good portion to the sheets to get the truck wheels to rotate freely.

Visiting a Motel- in Cabooses!

Although not directly related to model railroading, I recently visited the Red Caboose Motel in Strasburg, PA and thought it worth sharing. Enjoy!

The Central Division, May 2021

Just posted May 2021 edition of “The Central Division” which is a monthly YouTube video about my Missouri Pacific layout.  This edition I feature my friend’s Missouri Pacific layout set in the 1950s era.

Enjoy!
