Like spitting in the ocean!
Added some more details to the layout.
Used some 'rattle can' silver on the ugly green shed and also the junction boxes.
Drilled holes and inserted thin wire in the bottom of the boxes for ease of installation.
Also fixed up a few cars.
Two that my friend gave me. Didn't take long to assemble. A couple roundhouse kits. White metal bases had to be painted. The rest like an old Athearn 'shake a box' kit. Replaced the wheel sets with Intermountain wheels.
About a 120 of them on the dock.
Found this wood loads in the box of 'stuff'. Had to drill out the bottoms of the side stake holders to route the 1/32" wide chart tape. The wood loads were from 'Mcleod rail miniatures' which I've had for decades.
Had to glue a broken scrap load on the 'broken' shelf. Some CA did a quick job. Don't remember who made these as I've also had them for decades.
This car is back on the track due to being too lite. Figured some real lead weight scrap leftovers when weighting engines would work.
A few track side details added. Don't remember who made the sheds: it was green, plastic with 4 walls, roof and vents to be glued together (wish I had more of them). The junction boxes are white metal castings. The GNRW signs I made from brass stock and some printing from my GNRHS.
Better post a few signs over bridges to keep 'idiots' from walking on the bridge.
Back in 1938, it was more a courtesy to the public versus today's litigious society.
Only had 5 to install. Need to get more.
Got this old car off the 'broken' shelf. Missing walkway and doors. By chance, the parts were in the 'people and critter' box. An old kit I built back when I was very young: not very good but it's mine.
Probably several hundred people/critters in the box. Will take awhile to install them!
