OPERATING ASH PIT, VIDEO AND PICTURES

Oh yeah got to have one of these! Nice job.

Beats my mock up of a cigar in an ashtray!

Very cool.  Piggybacking on HW's suggestion...I put some of the ash from my barbeque grill in a ziplock bag then some of Dennis Brennan's coal and shook it up.  That gave the coal a used look. I filled the pit with that then I accented with more of the ash from the grill.  I buried LED blinking fire lights but I did not install smoke.  Now I have to do that!

Again, you did an awesome job!

Hey Alex,

Great job on the ash pit!

That looks terrific! i like that idea, how did you come up with that?

That would look so good near a engine service facility. Thanks for posting.

Hello everyone,

I thank you all for the very kind comments and input, this unit is the actually just a prototype

it needs some tweaking, and also some fine adjustment. I will build a small diorama to go with this operating ash pit, it will then be displayed at Trainstock which we can all see it and take lots of photos and video's of it.

Again I THANK YOU ALL !!!!!!!

Alex

Very creative.  Can't wait for your next project.

A really good job, always thinking outside the box and on the tracks

Alex,

     Do you know how to catch an elephant? Open a can of peas, pour them around the pit. When the elephant comes to take a pea kick it in the ashes.

     Great job, should look great on the layout.
