Sunday Scenic Showcase February 28, 2016

Here is a little UN-Scenery, Somewhere in the midst of 2013 dismantling the old TMB club Layout. In second photo the Huge trestle Bridge was salvaged and is again a focal on the new club layout.

Nice work on the refinery Alan

Here are some pics of a Weaver New Haven 40' boxcar that I weathered this past week...

Here are a couple of train meet finds. Changed the cardboard roof to Masonite and then added shingle roofs.

Worn n faded RDG #1114 is out for delivery………

Got a little more done on my WW2 rubber drive.

Ordered this inspection pit last fall at York from Crescent Locomotive Works. Installed using the time honored method of using an insulated outside rail to trigger the light. It's a siding with only one turnout so no center rail power is needed over the pit. From the video I've seen. I need to mount some nozzles to spray white paint on cars with truck problems to identify them. Some white chalk over the area should finish it off.

Heres some tid bits from my layout.

Photo 6. Can you find the back packers?  Hint - they are HO scale.

Photo 1. The box pusher.  Unloading on the team track.

Photo 2. Rock walls made from heavy gauge aluminum foil and several coats of paint, spray glue and ballast/ground cover.

Photo 3. Real rock cliff.  I used a real rock that I got out of a nearby river to use as a rock face for this cliff.  Cliff between rock and bridge abutment made from foil.

Photo 4. Closer look at photo  3 content.

Photo 5. Real rock face and foil rock wall ( underneath and behind bridge and between real rock and bridge abutment ) in context with completed scene. 

A friend has a trailer that he wanted to attach a load to. the load has holes on top but pins on the bottom. John needed something that would attache to the pins on the trailer and have holes on top for the load. I built a platform from Styrene that fits to the trailer and has holes to mount the load.

Hello every one. Well hear is the model I started last week. We will see how it goes I still need to redo some of the brick Spackling.

Good Morning Everyone,

I am a little under the weather this weekend with a cold. I can't complain since this is the first cold I have had in about a year. Here are a couple of pictures of the refinery modules I am constructing. I just started the distillation tower. It measures 4 inches in diameter on the main section and is about 19 inches tall.

Oh sure. Show off!

If that's what your work looks like when you're under the weather, I really have to get U to build me stuff!

Wow. Really nice.

Excellent Showcase! Sirt, you are clearly the finest freight car weatherer I've seen. Have you shown us how you do it? If not, perhaps it's something that would be very well-received.

Great stuff again this week guys!
