I'll start with a few on the JESTJAMO R.R.
(1) gristmill with an overshot water wheel, water falls, lake all with real water.
(2) log loader shed from Lionel #397 coal loader( shown in run #222 June 2007).
3) Addition to Lionel sawmill. (shown in run #246 Dec. 2011)
(4) Glass enclosed auger that moves coal from tender to engine( I demonstrated it at the OGR booth Oct. 2011)
(5) AF coal loader that gives the illusion of coal being loaded into tender.
(6) Ash pit, where the auger engine dumps ashes and a post war Lionel gantry fitted with an AF clam shell bucket loads ashes into a gondola.
(7) New MTH warer tower refitted with a different spout that shows real water, with air bubbles toshow movement of water, it's a closed system , just appears to be loading water, no mess!
(8) Land fill , to dump ashes with a modern operating log car and some add-ons to place ashes in front of an earth mover that pushes the ashes into a pit.
(9) XXXX My pride and joy. A two-way traffic highway that moves four vehicles in each direction, wheels turning, lights on all. Vehicles enter a mountain on one end and a five story parking garage on the other. I have a turn knob switch with a timer on it for operation.
(10) M&M store/factory from an MTH pawn shop. I installed a belt assembly, like the one on the sawmill addition. The mini M&Ms ride out on the belt an into a container and a AF clamshell bucket loader laods them into the tower where they drop into a hopper car.
(11) an actual operating scale that weighs the empty M&M gondolas and then again when they are loaded, gives actual "tonnage" .
(12) Police station/ donut shop from an MTH operating freight station.
(13) I added a ramp to a AF drum loader so that the drums roll onto a waiting gondola.( not a biggie).
I can't think of anything else at this time! Oh yeah I run a train once in a while
Let,s see you're stuff!
Neil Kresge!
