First building in Fordyce
Last friday I got the first building close to completion in Fordyce.
This is the new Walthers kit: The Modern Concrete Warehouse that I'm using for the processing and cold storage building for my Flappers Chicken complex.
Creating an Ivy in H0-scale
Hi! Ivys can be modeled using kitchen twine.
Here´s the link to the video tutorial I made on the subject: https://www.modelrailroadacademy.com/video/creating-ivy-martin-tarnrot-017070/
Here´s a snap shot of the final result:
HO Steam Shovel
Good morning.
Would like to "build" a small "mom and pop" gravel pit set in the 1940/1960 era time frame on a midwestern HO layout.
Unable to locate an HO scale Steam Shovel or similar to load gravel and sand, etc. into gons and/or hoppers.
Looking for advice on backdrop scene
Hello,
I'm new to the forum but have been a long-time reader.
I've started building a new layout in the spare bedroom of my house. I can't use the whole room so It will be a shelf-style affair on three sides of the room. The shelves will be about 16-17 inches wide.
The layout will be roughly based on the iron ore operations in northern Minnesota. I don't have space for a mainline so the focus will be on yard operations, with the trains coming in from a hidden section to be sorted.
Aunt Minnie's Farm, from memory....
Hello to Rail Road Modeler's !!!
This picture here is a corner diorama that has survived from the previous layout, I plan on adding this into the new layout i am currently building, and designing as i go.
River Scene
Finally got around to finishing the mountain scenery, river and tunnel portal. The river is plaster that had been painted and then covered with multiple layers of gloss medium. Turned out more convincing than I had anticipated. Bridge is the Walther Single track Truss, backdrop is from LARC Products and the tunnel portal is from Woodland Scenics.
Stag Horn Sumac and Alanthis (Tree of Heaven)
I’m modeling the Upper Appalachians and would like to represent both the Stag Horn Sumac and Alanthis (Tree of Heaven). Not sure if I spelled Alanthis right. The Sumac is a native tree and the Alanthis is a non-native, invasive. Both of these trees are similar to one and another and the difference would not be seen in Ho Scale other than the “stag horns” of the Sumac. Do any of you think if I pruned an N or Z Scale Palm leaf and carefully glued it to a really thin and short, home made armature that it would work?
