Long time no post...To much work not enough time off...Finally got a weekend and took Saturday to go to Toledo Hollywood with the wife and lost some money but had a great time playing Game of Thrones slot machine. Won some, lost more, ended up in the hole as usual......

I was hoping summer was just around the corner up here in Northern Manitoba, but no spring has only just arrived. So I have been slowly working on my GE 70 tonner project and other projects for myself and others.

First the uphill battle. Just when you think you put the stripes on nice and level, the picture you take tells you you didn't. My level mark is visible near the front just below the stripe. I must have shifted it while flattening the front. It is all set so it is what it is.

I have a number of Walthers Cornerstone kits and wondering if anyone has any good tips for assembling the walls?  I seem to struggle with getting the walls to have a good strong connection between the pieces.

Does anyone have any images for what a prototypical oil industry siding would be? The area that im modelling takes a lot of tank cars (molton sulphur and oil products from what i can tell) in via an Esso facility. I can see the tank cars all neatly stacked in the local area in the yards, but the actual unloading facility is not accessible to google  streetview. And on the satellite view its very hard to see what there is in that location.

So im looking for suggestions of what to include scenery wise? Can anyone help?

Thanks!
