Fantastic scene!

Great idea placing the Litho Co. along the water front too!

Don’t forget to add some protection (pilings) around those supports.

Thanks guys!

 

Jerrman....I will do so...

 

SIRT....thanks, this is a brand new project and so I will need a lot of advise from the experts over here.  I will be constructing the wharf area high enough so that the tops of the sea-side industries will be at the concrete arch level which supports the city above.  By the way, do you have any pictures or examples of what you suggest in front of the City Litho fronts....( which are going to be renamed!)?

 

Alan

Great work on the water.

 

Still working on the kit bashed Dairy.

 

Alan beautiful beautiful harbor scene, please keep the progress photo's coming.

 

Railroad-guy awesome Dairy building

 

Alex

Nice work Alan, love it.

 

Dan that looks great, I can smell the cheese from here...wait that didn't sound right..

 

It’s been a busy weekend!

Every time I say, “it’s my last car this time I’m serous” my wife laughs at me…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Steve, your work is just superb. You are one of the masters of this hobby.

Hope all is well with you.

 

Alex

Really great stuff again guys . 

 

 Started a Linoleum factory, back when they used sail cloth on the floors. The process was to use oxidized linseed oil one layer at a time over the sail cloth .Sending it up and down  heated towers then applying another coat.

Thanks Dan, Alex, and Chris....

 

Steve...I think this group of cars are your best work yet...seems the weathering is just right!!

 

Alan

Fabulous work, very inspiring!
Dan, can't wait to see that dairy in person!
All I got done was more relaying S scale code 100, but I made ok progress for having to do it all "by feel".
Sirt, I swear, if I ever get finished lay

laying track, I hope to weather anywhere near your standard!

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen a "to be continued" post before.

I've added something since my last post

Really nice job on the dairy dan. Can you tell more about the vehicles and also i noticed the red light in the outside lamp. Was this to signal  something?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Ahh   the painted rubber tires in the entance to the trailer park  

Thanks Patrick.

The trucks, the larger one is a Divco truck that I got from Die-cast Direct and made decals for. The small tank truck I got on ebay last week for $4.50 and free shipping. Had no idea if I could use it but for that price.... Got it Thursday and finished it Saturday. Might be from some Lionel set?

 

 

The lights are Walthers but I did not like the way they looked, the same as everyone uses, so I painted them a rust with silver around the bulb. Then used Tamiya paint to tone down the clear bulb. It gives a nice effect when lit. Remember yellow bulbs back in the day. Kept bugs away or so they said

 

Excellent job on the trucks, I thought in the old days the red light would come on when the cheese was being made.

The trucks look nice...add more.

The tanker truck is made by Solido but it's not every day that you find them for $4.50 shipped. Also made by Solido was a 41 Dodge tanker truck.
