Scenery - Structures
Caboose Servicing Facilities
I'm trying to figure out why you need to get to the top of a caboose for servicing? I guess I can see possibly cleaning the windows.
Several manufacturers have structures like this for sale:
I get the lower oil tank or even a coaling area for older cars. Even water fills were lower.
Marion 4160 Shovel painted and lettered
Although I still have a few details I would like to add, the Marion 4160 is painted and assembled, ready for me to start building a diorama.
Coming Soon - HO Scale U-Posts - for all those signs that get in the way!
I had a request for U-Posts, and they are almost ready!
These are gonna' look great on the supply pile in the MOW yard, or on the MOW truck, or even holding up signs on your model railroad - which is actually what they are for - Who knew?!
Who's got the best deal on Static Grass ?
I was interested in some of the new blended static grass products form Scenery Express. They come with different lengths and colors in one container. Was shocked to see the shipping charges were almost as much as the product. I suspect that they are shipping in Flat Rate Boxes which are a total rip off. The same item in your own generic box is about a third the cost. You're paying for their convenience and UPS is just as expensive. Does anyone know of suppliers who will treat us more fairly?

Getting back to work on the Main Project. The foundation is glued down and painted, and the tracks laid. Holes in the baseboard are for the occupancy sensors on the internal tracks.
Static Help
Either operator or equipment error is all I can figure. After two tries, my static grass is not standing up. I am using the following:
1. Grass applicator from Micro-Mark with 2 D-cell batteries (brand new) with a strainer type screen.
2. Enlarged the holes with a hat pin and have good flow when "tapping" the plastic arm.
3. Using a finishing nail as a ground into the cork or foam area to be applied.
4. Using Woodland Scenics static grass flocking material.
Latest update on CNW Engine Terminal relocation
It's been a little while since I posted a update on the relocation of the Watersmeet Engine Terminal on my CNW Peninsula Div. RR. So here it is: This is the new Machine Shop which will be mounted next to the Round House. It is a Walthers kit which I repainted and weathered added a couple of details - AC unit, tank, and additional exhaust pipes. Added a gravel roof also, great way to hide any dust.
Help Requested...
After "volunteering" to do something, I need a little assistance....
What is the currently recommended negative Ion generator

Availability, price, etc.....
Thanks..

Marion 4160 Shovel is coming to life
The work on my Marion 4160 shovel is continuing. I settled on an interior, for which I have no idea what should be inside. I put a drum and other "stuff" for looks. Stuck a operator at the controls and glued the roof on.
This shot gives a look at the inside. Here I was gluing the main roof section on.
