Some more work on the plant
Hello everyone,
I have been able to work on more weathering for this building. I have and weathered the graffitis and added, although temporarily, some of the details like the awnings and the rail guard for the stairs. I have started assembling the roof items but didn't start painting them yet.
Anyway, here goes some pictures.
Greater Nickel Plate Update
Aside from UPS delivering a package to the wrong address instead of here, today is a pretty good day. Here are a few photos to update the layout. Buildingsl have lights and some "landscaping." More details to be added later.
Mainline looking Eastbound.
Nearing completion on a module
A module, a work in progress! When it comes to details, I just can't get enough of it. The rental trailers are also works in progress, (they're 3D printed from Shapeways) still to go, weathering, highway cracks, oil stains, track signals and many more details need to be added. Hope you enjoy!
Finally, another update
Hi guys,
It has been a long time since I was able to work on my layout! The birth of my daughter and taking care of my 2 year old son took the best part of my time. There was also an issue with some trackage that I didn't fix properly after the move last March that was haunting me and I thought it would be a huge thing fixing it all... Well, guess what, it took the best part of 30 minutes, and most of that time was waiting on the soldering iron to heat up!
Cut too big...need help filling in?
I cut the opening for 2 windows a little large, So I added a piece of siding and now not happy with the insert and tried to fill in the joint with putty still not happy. Any suggestions for repairs. This is the produce warehouse started in one of the Whats on your workbench a few weeks ago.
A Marion 4160 Shovel for the GE 85 Tonner
As part of the mine I need a shovel to move the ore. There are a lot of modern track hoes and other mining equipment out there, but none of that would be right for an early 1900's steeple cab locomotive. HBM&S, Bingham mine and some of the Missabe range mines had the 4160 series Marion Shovel. So here it is ready to dig ore in HO scale...sort of.
