How do you store and or display your trains?
Scratchbuilt Logging Camp Tents
Logging camp tents I built for a client. Scale is On30.
pulp bales
In the last month or so I saw a site which showed HO scale pulp bales on skids. Of course i forgot to copy the supplier info. Does anybody have any clues or is this the onset of oldtimers'?
False Front Building Kit
The next buildings to do is a false front building kit from Bar Mills. It's their "Witzingers washboard Co." kit I plan on making into the United Fruit Company warehouse and offices. I'll try and remember to do photos as I go through the building stage. But first a read through the instructions and inventory the box.
Repurposing Structures
I wanted to include a Yard office on this portion of my layout and looked a few online and then I remembered that the wife had scored me a box of what I think is some older Marklin structures on Craigs List.
So I pulled the box out of the closet and found what I think would make a neat office. Although it is a little more modern than some of the other structures I plan on using, I figure it could be a stage of the layout that has gone through a little modernization and show some progress.
Fort J Railroad
I retired recently and found myself with lots of time so decided several months ago to start model railroading again after a long hiatus. I really appreciate the easy access to a broad range of knowledge now available and certainly have benefited from this forum! I decided to post my modest attempts as it too may help others (They may even say—‘ gee—glad I didn’t try that!’)
Squirrel Creek [Sawmill]
just realized that I've been a member here for over 5 1/2 years, and have posted virtually nothing, lol
any ways, now 15 months into the new [second] layout, and did a bit of detailing on the sawmill area, and thought that I would share... era is 1890, mountain logging / mining ...
Mounting the water tower
Worked on installing the water tower today.
First mounted it on a piece of foam core as a base and painted a base coat of earth color. I used foam as foundation for small hill and will add to it and cover with vegetation later.
When I first put it in place was a bit to close as the fill pipe would hit the engines, and had to move it back a bit.
