Scrap Yard Trolley, another creation.

One mans junk is another mans treasure!

#2117 A & B...

I took a pic of this unique S scale pre rotary coal dumper someone modeled after finding a New England prototype.

All pics by me at the "Big E"!

Last week the Cabin Creek Coal Tipple B.T.S. Kit was completed for my friend Jim in Danville WV. I will deliver the structure as soon as the winter weather calms down this week.  
The project took me several weeks to complete and it’s ready for his layout now.

Good Morning Everyone,

I will start out with something I constructed in the past. Lets see what you have been working on.

Wow....this looks like a kit-bash of a Walthers, now Atlas dairy building updated with larger windows, ground-level doors and lots of detail parts?????

However, its genesis (from scratch or kit-bash), it is magnificent!!!!!!

I have continued the landscaping of third module.

Although h.o. scale, I took a picture of this unknown industry to highlite what could be a repurposed Menards powerstation into a unique industry

Sirt,

I love it. Your attention to detail is awesome.

Mark,

The rotary dump is pretty cool. I like s-scale. I think the size is just right.

Peter,

Thank you. This was a scratch built model for a fellow in Michigan whose wife worked in the health care industry.

Johan,

Your layout is fantastic. The detail is outstanding.

Seth,

Nice work on the coal tipple. Your friend will be very happy to have this structure on his layout.

Wow, some great photos here already.

I made a little progress on Fish Pier, finishing the carts and adding some figures...

Ready for the next ship to come in, while the boss watches every move.

Two business men making some fresh fish deals

Looking over the latest fresh catch (while I figure out how to model cod)

Overview of the scene.  Carts, boxes and scales are scratchbuilt from basewood and 3d printed parts from an XYZ printer.

Great work and pix so far gents.

I added some details to my caboose office area. I made a small stack of lumber

Took a short piece of track and some old trucks and wheels for storage in the yard.

And now that the office is ready, the crew showed up to check out the new digs.

I'm still working on some more items for the area

Have a great Sunday.

Bob

And, here is how crazy I get trying to figure out scale sizes and emulate the prototype.  (photo public domain from Boston Public Library)
