The concept, the building of my O scale shortline.

http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/23662

In last days I finished a series of small oil lamps, here a picture.

See a gallery with some remarks how I built them - http://us-modelsof1900.de/?p=12891

Here yet one of my railroad employees.

I finally started construction of the all-critical connection segment in the town of Emsingen on the Welztalbahn. This segment will feature the main station building and road-side infrastructure of Emsingen station and pull together the Emsingen city segment on the right and the maintenance facility segment on the left.

Here's the situation before I started with the partially completed buildings at their future locations.

Finally Static Grass is placed on the diorama- How do you get the grass to look like prairie grass. hope you enjoy the video.

So in the process of building Alice Springs  - A Town Like Alice, a couple of mates really helped out, and I thought it would be a good idea to just say "thanks" for their help, they are both US and Canadian modelers so I thought I would experiment and make up a couple of BNSF Pink boats or Pink bonnets.

I started with two Kato Santa Fe Dash9-44CWs.

An initial pink bonnet "faded" colour was created using a mix of humbrol paints, I find humbrol paints are great for this kind of work.

Hi! This weeks I´ve been painting a bunch of figures and same time made a video tutorial.

I have an Athearn Genesis GP38-2 with a Tsunami decoder.  I'm interested in replacing its speaker with a Zimo sugar cube speaker. Can anyone make a recommendation as to speaker size?

Thanks!

Hi All,

This week's video is on how to paint machinery in a few easy steps:

Hope you enjoy it.

Perhaps there is no harder problem for railway modellers than shingles.  First of all, because we tend to have a bird's eye view, they are right up front and centre.  Secondly, it takes a team of workers about a week to re-roof even a modest building.  So, while you could install individual shingles, it will drive you cuckoo.  Even if you do install individual shingles, you'll never get them as straight as the real ones.

The Splitrock Mining Company Marketing Department has come up with a new, trendy idea. Pumpkin Spice iron ore loads. Only available during October. Lars and Sven and not really sold on the idea. Who wants a cappuccino?
