Bridges and More Bridges
Yes we went of Vacation. I tried to tell cruise director I was always on vacation but that is another story. Work has continued on The Grande Pacific. Installing some of the many bridges that had been put off since 2009. Run trains first. These are the four I am working on. Will have video of this at end of construction project.

Hanging signs from buildings
Hi,
All over the city you see these little A-framed steel structures holding hanging signs. Does anybody know if these are available in kit form? Anybody have any tips or plans for scratchbuilding the little guys?

Walthers offers one on the top of the hobby shop in this kit but I am unaware of them for sale separately:

Progress on My Reading Layout
Well, it’s been about 8 months since my last update. I’ve been too busy working on the layout, and just now getting around to updating my blog.
Pulp and Paper Mill Backdrop building image
Hey Gang
I am looking for a backdrop of a Pulp and Paper mill. What I would like to get a hold of is a full mill landscape picture in either of the following:
Storm Drains That Can Be Placed Anywhere.
"I think I can see my keys." Adding a storm drain can create a scenario of it's own.
Storm drains and heavy rain runoff is something that we don't need to worry about on our layouts. The real world is not so fortunate. So having drainage modeled into our layouts is something we need to consider.
NYC West Shore Freemo module
I have a module base built and have an idea for what to put on it. One of the things I want to add is a station. Not just any station, but a close facsimile to the station at Sprakers, NY. Sprakers is basically what the module track plan will contain.
Recently the NYCSHS posted a track plan of Sprakers in their "Headlight" journal, and I thought it was just the thing to get me going.
I have three pictures of similar stations. It's going to have to be scratch built.
Looking for Station Kit
I'm looking for a kit similar to the smaller front building in the following images. Or something I could possibly bash to look like it. The station was originally run by the United Fruit Company and then transferred to the Northern Railway in Costa Rica. Any tips would be appreciated.
Another view and in color.
Ethanol Plant Model
This is a overhead view of an ethanol plant model that the Dakota Southeastern Division of the NMRA just finished for the American Ethanol Association. It has taken us about a year to make it, one big problem was finding all the parts. We had to make two models of Wilson grain trucks and received help from LoneStar Models with three of the fine reproduction of the Wilson grain trailer.
