Good Morning Everyone,

Here is a model I constructed in the past.

Lets see what you have been working on.

Very nice. Can see there was a lot of thought & time put into this.

Out of the storage container a few weeks ago......

....and back together.....

Now, moving around built structures, unbuilt kits, etc....to see where they might work..... and, what I may need to look for at York....

I have to have an open mind......if it doesn't work, then, don't force it.....

Have a great Sunday, folks!

The layout is coming along fine Peter. Enjoy every minute of it. If you have a wife like mine, I know why the vacuum cleaner is in the picture.

Peter - your Woolworth repair came out great.

Last week I received a 1940s White Rose Collectibles PA motor patrol car. It was great timing as I was inspired by @stangtrain’s thread about his use of the Evans Designs vehicle lighting kit. I had a kit packed away but never had the right car for it.

The car’s tail lights doesn't make installing the red LEDs easy, so I skipped those. Once I grab a driver figure I’ll call this one a wrap.

   New Layout – Marine, water, harbor bench prep…

I have been doodling up and printing more interior details for my next building in between other projects. I am at the stage where I’m good enough to be dangerous with my resin printing. After I prep and paint them, I store them in tackle boxes until use. I am also painting up a bunch of white metal parts. I always try to make extras while at it.

The press was based on this one at the AOS roundhouse:

I printed a few more in different sizes. I had some trouble with the ram coming out crooked and I think I fixed it by running a core through it:

I also got to try making steam heaters for the walls. Here is one with a few little supports still stuck to it:

This is a model of the station in Phillips, Maine on the 2-foot narrow-gauge Sandy River & Rangely Lakes Railroad. I built it for my 10’-by-5’ layout in 2014 from a kit by Banta Modelworks.

those look great

Nice photos everyone!

I’m making progress on the background scenery for the petroleum terminal Alan built for me. Here are some in progress shots placing the terminal in front of the backdrop.

I did a bit of roundhouse cleaning this week.  I don’t know where the dirt comes from.  

Although I’m not a Penny guy, I had this under the table and thought I would bring it up to speed  

Anthony,

The scene looks great. I can see some kids coming through the brush from the back of the terminal and going in through a hole in the fence. That’s what I would do if I lived near that place. Of course I am partial to storage tanks.

Steve,

Your progress looks great. Cannot wait to see the completed water scene.

Norm,

You are showing me that 3d printing possibilities are endless.

Great work Dave.

Beautiful station Mel.

Nice pickup Alex. A friend of mine has a real one of those.

It's so nice here.
