H&H Ship Photos
The Hagley Museum and Library has recently digitized some of the photos from the Harlan & Hollingsworth collection, H&H was a ship (and passenger car) builder in Wilmington, DE and was served by the P&R/RDG, PRR and B&O. It later became part of Bethlehem Steel Shipbuilding.
The collection has numerous pictures (an other info) on ships and barges of all kinds built by H&H.
Progress....slow but steady
Have not done an update in a while as I have been busy working on a couple areas that just didn't work for me. I'll have a detailed video update on my YouTube page next week. But this is what I have been working on this weekend. Getting my engine service area ready for the installation of fuel and sanding towers along with fuel pumps and other assorted materials found around a shortline service area.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions on what you see, please feel free to post them. Always helpful to have insight from others.

Does anybody know if someone picked up the line of Monster Modelworks kits and brick sheet goods? Have not seen anything and did a search with no results Thanks in advance Geoff
More Space
(A bit of a misleading title ! )
Been working on star ships for my science fiction layout. Check out my progress on the Mines of Xenon. Keep watching - I hope to post even more progress soon.
Snyder Diesel Fuel Crane
What would the earliest era be that the Snyder Diesel Fuel Cranes would be appropriate for? I did my best to search the internet but came up empty handed...
Heres a link to the models: https://www.americanlimitedmodels.com/ho-snyder-fuel-crane-2/
primer for wood structure kits
Bar Mills recommends spraying wood kits with Walmart Gray primer. It seemed to work quite well, fine pigments and inexpensive. BUT, Walmart has stopped carrying the gray primer or any inexpensive spray paints other than black or white.
Anyone have suggestion for alternative that is not expensive?
thanks

imagination stagnation: paper mill or no?
I’m having another round of imagination stagnation!
Years ago I built a small switching layout with the Walthers Superior Paper buildings. Operations were simply runnning cars from a small staging yard to their appropriate spots in the mill. Quite enjoyable!
