Help Weathering a coaling tower
Below are two photos. The first is of a model of a tower I have made and the second of the prototype. I am trying to weather the model following the proto photo.
Muir Silver King Ore Station
I opened this ebay purchase to find it missing instructions... Muir kit SILVER KING ORE STATION. Since the company is no longer in business I am stuck...
If anyone out there who has a set of instructions, I would surely appreciate your passing them on....

Pittsburgh & Southern South Pittsburgh Maintenance Yard
First, a sincere thank you to abelida for identifying the building I was working on, and setting me on the path to get original views of the kit.
This is how the kit was originally designed to be built:
Request for an assist.
Folks, I'm trying to track down a picture of an old HO scale building. It was the office of the Weekly Standard newspaper, and I know it was around in the early sixties at least. I am using it as the base for a scratching building project, and want to show the "before" picture as well as the project results.
The example I have has no manufacturer stamped anywhere on the pieces I have (this building was an incomplete pile of broken parts when I rescued it from my mother's basement 30 years ago).
City street widths
Gentlemen -
Can someone please point me in the direction of where one would most likely, or be able to guesstimate, the width of a city street? Now, I know that that is a relative term - Are we talking modern, WW2, or pre-depression......Main street/thoroughfare, side street, or alleyway.....Sidewalks or no sidewalks (as I am sure all that has a bearing on things)???
Railserve Beverage Bottling Facility, Update #4
My main production building is finished.... well sort of...
I am really happy with achieving the look I was going for. All of the walls are Evergreen styrene sheets with various angle strips for corner flashing.
The roof is made out of balsa wood, covered with 80 grit sandpaper, and spray a flat black. It looks very convincing in person but way to "new" for this building. It still needs some weathering.
Grist Mill Diorama build Right On Track Models
While moving I took time to challenge myself with a midweek build.
Please note this build shares how I did it. With a friendly opinion of the kit.
The use of Steel Wool and vinegar stain is something to experiment with.
The fresh stain is very active and will go darker than the older stain I am using.
In fact, I am using the same stain made in the 2014 video.
