Sunday Scenic Showcase April 14

Alan, they look awesome! Takes me back to the days of my first job as a brewery worker.

These kettles will be going in the brewery project I am working on. I found these structures at a local train show and purchased them for five dollars. The top floor will be the brew house area with the kettles that Alan has made. The second floor will be the bottle shop with a filling machine and labeler.  The bottom portion of the brewery will be an exterior of brick and interior storage tanks for the beer. 

Alan very nice work.

GEF, drinking beer does not qualify you as a brewery

worker. Lol!

Kinda makes me wonder---what does "O" scale beer taste like?

An H&K filler in miniature?

thought I would join in seeing I have this 5 foot long deck girder bridge project in progress my first attempt at building anything on my own. is a lot of work yet somehow relaxing!

Good Sunday Morning to ALL!

Two thing i have been working on. Passenger  car  cleaning area and wash house.

Train orders platform.

The Lights on the poles where made with1/8 " and 1/4" shrink wrap -1/4" nylon shoulder washer and 5mm flat LED and 30awg wrapping wire.

  I think its cool the way the nylon shoulder washer glows around the edges giving it a saucer glass appearance.

And the over head wiring sure beats crawling under the layout.(until i stick my arm through it)

Spring is a little late coming this year to the great Northeast, but we were really in the mood for some scenery, so we thought we'd take that one trail where everything always seems to be at its peak.

Saw our first wildlife just a few yards down the trail, in fact, he always seems to be in that same spot whenever we go that way.

This is our favorite overlook in the park - scenery in one direction, trains in the other.

The trail gets a little challenging in spots, but it's well marked.

Finally made it to the top, but it was occupied.

Stopped at one of the popular geologic attractions on the way back down.

Stopped a while to wait for another train.  We weren't disappointed.

Caught some switching action at the coal mine.

The picnic grove was a little crowded, but they all seemed friendly enough so we joined in the fun.

Took the long way back home....the really long way.

Patrick H, your talents continue to amaze me.  Keep up the good work.

De-toy-fying old Lionel Standard “O”….

Soo Line,

That is one very nice project . Thanks for posting. Cant wait to see it finished.

Ross or Gargraves cant remember where i got it- makes a bridge track with centering rails similiar to what your doing there as well,may give you some ideas.  Nice job!

Great work everyone.

Patrick what did you use for the hose?

Chris

left over wires in Lionel accessories . any light gauge wire will work. 

I had the opportunity to operate and help set up the Bear Creek Narrow Gauge exhibition layout at a train show that my club put on this weekend.

Patrick H... thank you for the kind words I hope to get the railings done today and I sent email to gargraves as I found a 12" pkg of rail # 810-12 as to if it would work as I think there called guard rails or? hopefully they will work with size of gargrave rails used for o gauge.

 I have learned from this project that mdf board not really strong creating the i-beam at only 1/8" thick it breaks oh so easily next one is hard wood period so tired  of fat hands breaking the i beam and having to patch in a new section of wood!

will post more pictures as this project moves on.

Can't seem to find the post in which this kit was mentioned, but it is a delight to build and can be hard to find There's one on EBay right now (390577171913).

Mine's located at at the intersection of Main and Grand next to Truman & Jacobson Haberdashery.

I sure do admire all you guy's how you do all that serenary, (OK so I don't spell right, but One thing where do you fine or build all those great buildings? I fine paper ones, and large ones (I can't afford) build my own maybe. I hope someone knows the answer.
