Richlawn RR V2 - Scott Perry's scratch built team track ramp

Mon, 2014-01-06 08:45 — rickwade

Do you know what is cooler than having your own scratch built structure on your layout? - Having a scratch built structure made by a good friend!  In my case it was my friend Scott Perry who is an excellent modeler and general wise-guy.wink

rail/marine, N scale

Does anyone have plans or models for N scale car float. I am aware that Walters has it in HO, but  was wondering about N. Could use some information on tugs also.

Thanks

Grain Elevator Progress

Sun, 2014-01-05 20:16 — arinella

Spent some time today working on the grain mill and elevator anchoring the east end of my 22nd Street Secondary.

First some construction background: the headhouse is scratcbuilt from .030 styrene overlain with .020 strips to simulate a more substantial frame. The silos are 2-3/8" PVC pipe with a .030 styrene roof. The gallery (running across the top of the silos) is Evergreen metal-siding styrene, as is most of the loading/unloading shed.

Using Sculptamold

Sun, 2014-01-05 18:38 — hoffertg

I recently constructed a mountain on my layout. I overlaid the framework with Woodland Scenics plaster cloth followed by Sculptamold after it had cured. I am pleases with the appearance of it, but my question is; was Sculptamold a good material to use? I have read both positive and negative comments about the use of it on the Internet. I would like to hear the comments of others who may have used it.

Round house/turntable question

Sun, 2014-01-05 12:46 — dcfilion

Has anyone ever put an Atlas round house with a Walters 90ft turntable? These are the items I have and need to work with but I'm not sure how it can be done. Any ideas? Thanks.

Nearing completion of the Parks Coal Shed. This is a scratch-built structure based upon the remaining prototype in Thornbury. I used engraved wood siding from Monster Modelworks, strip lumber from Mount Albert and Plastruct corrugated roofing material.

 

 

Southern pacific Signals (BLMA signal)

Sun, 2014-01-05 09:26 — John Graser
I'm looking into purchasing the following two signals:  
BLMA 4051 Single Head
BLMA 4050 Dual Head
 
I want to make sure that they are appropriate before I purchases them.
 
I will be using them to protect a siding.
