Sunday Scenic Showcase April 17, 2016

That is mighty fine.

Here is a multi-gauge shelf that I am building at the club. Still need to fix a few items and add signage.

Excellent work Alan, you are the master . I`ll try made a some scenery work.

A while ago I attempted to build a truck stop restaurant  that I remembered I had when I was about 11 or 12 yeas old.     Then by chance or luck  I managed to find the item I was trying to reconstruct  on one of the vintage toy web sites    it had been manufactured by   T  Cohn   while my memory had lapsed  a bit

I think I managed to  reproduce the set up fairly well, in fact this was my first attempt using the  Model builder program I had obtained from Evans Design

Outstanding Alan!  On a much smaller scale proportionately,  but still in O, I picked up the mock-up Andre of River Leaf Models made of the CNJ switchman shanty I'm restoring in Ashley PA, not far from the tower you made recently. I posted the pics on another thread, but I think they bear repeating, and I did use it in a scenic setting on my shelf layout for a photo referencing it's intended use. I included the prototype photo for comparison.

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope all the forum members that went to York had a good time.

Thank you all for the nice contributions and comments last week.

I completed the last section of the refinery model. It measures about six feet long and would not fit on the table in my model room. I had to use the nine foot pool table for this one.

Mighty fine work.

Working on two areas today. The first is the fire scene with burned down engine shed and burned out building. The second is downtown and will soon be a street. 

I'm really enjoying being involved in the various scenery chores.  Today, rock castings were alternately made and installed while I fine tuned some painting around this bridge. 

Operating some trains at the same time breaks up any monotony that might be encountered

Action happening over at my miniature Horseshoe Curve.

Just finished up on a tanker car loading platform. The product will be piped in from a storage tank the customer already has.

I also finished a inspection stand that can be used for tank, covered hoppers etc.

Davidbross, can you tell me about the church in your photographs. Kit or scratchbuild?  Nice looking structure.

Thank you.

Paul

Paul that church is one of the treasures of my layout.  It is scratch built and based upon the material used I am guessing 1940s or 50s.  I found it on ebay and bought it.  I think stuff like that are works of art and I buy them when I can.
