Scenery - Structures
Chimney vent
I am working on a Model of the QN cabin at Quinnimont WV on the C&O. The kit is an old one from MPP (HO scale). After a,lot of research I determined that two of the chimneys had metal pipes extending them with segments and on top of the pipe was a cone shaped cap that looks like a less pointed dunce cap.
I have looked at a lot of detail part manufacturers but I can't seam to find this detail in HO scale. Anyone know who makes this part?

Welztalbahn: Emsingen station segment installed in layout
4 weeks after I started work on the station segment (see my MRH blog posts), it has now reached a level consistent with the neighboring segments, the maintenance facility and the town of Emsingen.
Walthers Cantilever Grade Crossing Signal
Had a good laugh with my local shop owner over my disappointment that there was only 1 crossing signal in the package for $44 cdn. Why only one? Who has seen a crossing with only one signal? Buyer beware/caveat emptor of this product. Maybe others have learned the hard way too?
Walters also has a Crossing Signal Controller/detection circuit.. for $55 ea. Anyone know of any other options?
How to Add Interiors to Model Buildings
Hi All, this week I'm looking at really simple interiors for your buildings.
Back to HO after 20+ Years
Well I have successfully ebay'd completely all of my N-scale related stuff. All rolling stock, loco's, scenery, structures and structure flat scenes. So after deleting a sizeable layout I decided that a small (8 x 10) along the wall HO switching layout would be in order.
The Opoma Sawmill and Machinery
Some months ago I posted some pictures of my sawmill machinery fresh from Shapeways. Since then it has been installed into the Opoma Sawmill on my Springwater Sub and I thought I'd show you how it's working out. The machinery is in, the overhead belt drive system is installed and the lights are on, after this a lot of sawdust and woodchips and some detail parts and I'll have myself a sawmill!

Many thanks TMTV
I have been working my way through TMTV VIDEOS , and I watched Lionel with guest Chris Lyon explain how to Paint a backdrop .Chris said that it was in the eye of the person who was painting it.
Well if Lionel could give it ago I could at least try.
If I can ever work out how to send photos to MRH I will be very proud to show my backdrops that only took me 2 days to paint.
Even SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED said it looks very good
Thanks again to Lionel, Chris & TMTV.

Need help with roof suggestions for this roundhouse
I need some advice.
I kitbashed / scratchbashed this roundhouse from four of the older Walthers three-stall kits. The original section of the house was 85-feet long and had the raised clerestory section. The added on section which is 105-feet long is also six stalls but has a flat roof with monitors that went lengthwise down each paralleling track.
Santa Fe yard mid 70s to late 90s - Building ideas needed
We are building the edge of Industrial town and a small piggy back yard for containers (think that is what it is called). On the front gray part near the control box. What we are after is a few ideas, photos of some industries or just general ideas on what might work. I have a cornerstone pallet loader to go near the closet gray building and am scratch building a boxcar drive in factory for this end. near bridge. The backdrop is to get some more layers on it then one of the club members who is a wiz with the airbrush art will spray in some awesome trees.
