Sunday Scenic Showcase Dec 25, 2016

The assembly is almost done for this three stall locomotive shed. I need to add lights then the structure is ready for paint. The superstructure was made with Plastruct structural parts (H-12 columns, B-10 I-beams, PCF-12 footers, OWTA-16 trusses for the front and back plus PCC-12 joiners to connect B-10 to H-12).

Really fine work, fellas!

Have a great day!

Are the engine house and loading dock kit or scratch built? I really like them

Hi Joe,

That engine house is an old Gloorcraft kit I found at a yard sale of all places. The loading dock and the small repair garage are both scratch builds.

Bob

Nice work guys.

Here are a couple of small projects I completed today.

Bob:

Beautiful work

Joe

Just finished up on two tank farms.

Nice, Joe.

What are the tools with the red and black handles back in the corner?

Yes definitely nice work Joe!

Max...I enlarged his photos (because I was curious too) and those tools appear to be woodworking clamps

Bob

Really enjoy the pictures guys! 

The tank farm is awesome

Max:

I think you are asking about my woodworking clamps. Those are bar clamps of different lengths. The red parts are the handles. I used to build cabinets as a hobby. My garage is more woodshop than Model Structures 'shop'. I am slowly getting back into woodworking as time permits. Right now I am concentrating on shop cabinets in my spare time (i.e. Sunday afternoons). The rolling cabinet in the background of the third and fifth photos with the handles on the side is the latest. Once I get the drawer inserts done I will be storing all my smaller Plastruct piece parts which now reside in cardboard boxes. I am planning to post pictures once I am done. The first cabinet I built for Plastruct parts and posted on this forum was well received.

It was.  I thought that it was very good.

Thanks for that.  I can see that they are clamps now you've told me.
