MRH Forum Challenge: Valley Scene

Time to make some progress on this year's forum challenge.  I'm finishing a scene set in the valley just west of my Junction City yard.

Logging Camp Cookhouse Based on Prototype Structure

Interesting prototype used by Forest Service. Cookhouse was fun to build but still need to add more details.

Detail parts for interlocking

I am getting ready to install a crossing at grade with another railroad and will have an interlocking tower. Plans are to detail the with non-working rodding to signals and one switch and lock. I am familiar with prototype systems but haven't had much luck finding US-style detail parts in HO. I have found a few suppliers in the UK but they use square piping and the pipe and bellcrank stands are not US design. I could possibly use the bellcranks from UK but would have to scratch the other fittings. I would rather not have to mess with ordering from overseas.

Defect Detector?

I've been trying to find a N scale defect detector or ways on how to model one. The problem is, I have no idea where to start and I don't want to buy an expensive defect simulator that is $$$. I also want something that isn't like the Dallas Model Works Defect Detector. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I got this idea from djstrains on youtube.

Thomas Yorke's Frijole Flats in N scale by Showcase Minatures.

For those of you familiar with Frijole Flats by Thomas A. Yorke, the station is available in N scale now. Showcase Miniatures has a license to produce his structures in N scale. Depending on popularity of the first kit sales, will determine future kits of Frijole Flats in N scale. Has anyone done the O scale kits?

Pipes & more Pipes...

The last few days have seen me complete the pipe work for the Chemical Transfer Facility that serves the Manufacturing Industry on the L&T Branch.

The main components are all Walthers kits.  There will be two(2) unloading & one (1) loading points for liquid and gas, and solid chemicals via the loading dock.

More to follow shortly as I begin to paint & weather.

New England Winter Layout - H0

I'll use this blog to show scenes from the layout, unfinished as it is, along with various scenery projects.

Faller Fair kits evaluation

I recently completed a Fair area on my little trolley layout (not so little anymore). My Fair area is comprised of all Faller Fair kits. The kits I got were the roller coaster, the shooting gallery, the orange juice stand, the swinging boats ride, and a couple of other stands. All total it was 9 structures.
