Ten mile creek trestle build
Hi Joe,
A while back now, I've purchased the downloadable series of your scenery build series, based on Ten mile Creek.
One of the subjects I was interested in watching was how you construct the trestle. I've also got the plans and found several of the dimensions on it. I also heard you mention several of the dimensions in the video.
However, I can't seem to find some of these in the catalog of Evergreen, particularly the larger sizes. Have they stopped making them, or am I making a mistake?
High Water
The Corps of Engineers has been hard at work restoring the old stream out back of Elwood's place. Folks started fishin' (the DNR re-stocked the stream) and swimmin' right away. There's some environmental work to be done with land contouring and trees being planted, but it's a start. Even the new 'facilities' out back got approval from the county.
Painting mullions in Walthers kits for metal and industrial buildings
I have a number of Walthers HO scale cornerstone and railroad related structures as probably many of you also have. Some of the windows in the industiral kits require the painting of the mullions. This would not be a problem except the mullions are just raised strips of plastic on the clear plastic windows. I know a steady hand could paint the raised portions with a micro brush or similar, but I do not have a steady hand for such work. I have tried it on some kits and the appearance is very uneven.
New HO Scale Structures
Has anyone seen or used one of these new HO RDA BUILDING, MIDDLETON MILLS, STRUCTURE, KIT that I see on Ebay. They say they are injection molded, and after some weathering they seem to look pretty good. For $35 that isnt too bad.
Elwood's Place - Progress
Things sure move fast now that FEMA is reeling from the criticism it got over the N'awlins Relief Disaster. Not everything is done, but the County Extension Agent has been busy. The well and pump have been certified; and they hired that Pearl woman who runs "The Good Earth" landscaping company to come in and plant trees, ground cover (Elwood doesn't own a mower and sees no sense in buying one) and survey the river bank for some shoring up work later on.
