I've already posted these on the narrow gauge site, but somebody suggested that I should post it all here too!  So ....

 

When I was a kid in New Mexico, the neighbor kid's grandfather owned a lumber yard in Espanola.  It was the closest lumber yard to home, some 17 miles away.  Every once in a while we would go down and watch them cut lumber on this huge hanging cut-off saw.  When I saw the Mt Albert kit a few years ago, I thought that this was THE model of that lumber yard.  So, with a few modifications, I have made my version.

This is what I have been doing for the past couple of months, in between traveling to Peru and being Deanly.  The figure pictures will be used in my article and part of the clinic on figures and vehicles.  I am currently building a GAZ-MM for the clinic.  What's that?  A 1940 Ford truck licensed to the Soviet Union right before World War II.  I will back-date it to look like the Ford it really is ...


As ever ... all comments are appreciated.

Sam,

 

Glad you enjoyed the diorama.  Took about 6 months to complete and I'm still working on a few changes that various posters have suggested.

 

I am still in the process of taking the final pictures of the GAZ and associated figures then I will submit the article.  I was invited by a publisher (I won't say who right now) to submit the article but I have heard that publication time varies from 2 to 5+ years.

 

Perhaps they won't like it and, then, I can submit it to another, probably O Scale Trains.  I will let everyone know.  Maybe Allan would be interested for O Gauge Railroading?

 

Jim
