Sunday Scenic Showcase...February 7th, 2016

Very Cool

As always Joe, nice work. Her's what I'm un-weathering: this Jersey Central switching shanty has been absorbing Mother Nature's banes for decades, along with man's intolerance for things he doesn't appreciate, in the form of fire and graffiti. I have begun the process of restoring it as part of the collection of the Ashley Miners Historical Preservation which occupies a site adjacent to the former Blue Coal office building, and the Huber Breaker. Yesterday I began work on the sills. I also want to mention that the first five photos show the shanty in its permanent home, and has been pressure washed. 

If anyone has any info or better photos of these shanties when in use, I would appreciate hearing form you.  My e mail is in my profile.

Joe,

Your weathering and detailing of the car look great.Thank you for starting this off this morning. I was working on a couple of roundhouses and completely forgot. Actually, I am scared to try to use the computer since the wife updated to the latest windows format. It took three tries to get the pictures downloaded. Hopefully, I will get these pictures on showing the completion of the refinery furnace.

This is my background on my laptop.

Busy Sunday, 3 more new rides for the kids.....................

One more to do before the big game.

Excellent weathering job JOEYA and SIRT. Here is mine version.

This week I worked on adding a fence and drainage ditch along a short section of track. The only camera I have is on my cell phone so the pictures are not as sharp as they could be.

Have to say your work is like art work!  If I didn't know better this is real rolling stock! 

Although, my rolling stock is mostly intermodal I would love to learn how to weather some of my fleet.

Everything always looks better weathered, IMO, show me more!
