A lot of progress this week on the TW TrainWorx Rock Island Freight House kit.  I think it will be easier to go from beginning to end.

I started by choosing a simulated concrete over a simulated wooden floor.

I was not pleased with the initial weathering.....too dark, I thought......

Light color to the interior of the 1st floor dock area.....

While I was waiting for the glue to dry, I attacked the concrete floor which I did not like.....more gray and antique white dry brushing......I like it better......

Clamps are useful ........and, having different kinds and sizes is even more useful.....

Finished applying the brick outer facades......now masking for painting.....Rustoleum Satin Cabernet is recommended.....this will wait for a day in the 60s, at least partly sunny and no wind......

For size, this is my Fios remote ands a can of spray paint.....

Hopefully, painting this week.....and then applying the lintels and roof caps.

Another week (maybe 2) for windows and doors.

Probably another 1-2 weeks after that for final weathering

This building kit is  challenging, but a lot of fun to do......

Sorry if I rambled.....

Peter

Coach,

That is fantastic. I love it. Great work. The cherry on top is the finishing touch.

Chris,

The details really make the warehouse pop.

Thanks Alan.  It took a looooong time to find that cherry.  Every trip to the craft stores I would find every other fruit you could imagine but never cherries so this little guy just languished until I finally found a package of cherries.  My original plan for the ice cream stand was to cut a window into the side and detail as best as possible, a server and maybe interior picture for the detail but I realized I would never cut a perfect rectangle into the curved and sloping side.  I'm happy with the way it turned out.  It will definitely go with my layout.

Anthony give us the details

Im thinking the doors are sheet styrene  and what are the handles and hinges?

Hi Joe,

The entire cabinets are sheet and strip styrene.  I had some odds and ends, but the majority was 0.04" and 0.03" thickness sheet.  I simply measured the dimensions of my Lionel example, then cut out the basic 6 sides for each cabinet using exacto knife and a straight edge, or my NWSL chopper. The bases were a bit thicker material, maybe 0.06" or .08".  The four sides were 0.03", and I used 0.04" for the roofs.  I figured I'd try to make a few copies, so I cut all my pieces first.  I guess I ran out of one of the types of sheet from my leftovers bin, and that limited my production run to four.  I did  use some 0.08" x 0.125" and 0.08" square bar to reinforce the internal edges, and make things easier to glue together.  I used plastic weld (methylene chloride) to fuse all the pieces together.

The exterior door panels are just rectangles of 0.02" sheet, and the hinges are some thin square bar (maybe 0.06" square).  The handles are just some scrap trimmings cut down to look about the right size. 

I'll try to paint them and put some decals on to match the original. I'll post my progress.



THanks,

Anthony
