Sunday Scenic Showcase May 19,2024

Nice Alan!  This week I’ve been working on an industrial area on my layout. This is a tail track for switching an industrial siding, adjacent to a gravel truck lot to the left.  So I want the rails to be buried as much as possible, but I need to keep the flange ways clear.

Starting to paint……….head’s up……..when I’m painting, it’s always a good move to add some 3M stock to your portfolio…….by the time I’m done taping, it usually climbs a few points……

Have a great and safe week, everyone!

Wow Alan the Hulett unloader is quite impressive.  Did you do the Fitz (ore boat) as well. I am trying to find/build a small coastal freighter or short lake boat for my wharf scene.  

Here is my contribution for the day. Still a mess and a lot of work to do.

Great looking work everyone! It is nice to see ideas that others are doing on their layouts!

Jeff I know I seen photos and plans on the web, not sure if it was here but it was to build a boat just what your looking for. I will see if I can find it again!

Here are some flats I’ve been working on.

Nice work this week guys.  Trainchief, what is the maker of the left flat in your photo? I know the one on the right is a ameritown.

Thanks

Rich that’s the DSL shops “Back wall” flat.

@mike g.  Mike - Dave Minarik did a build on a river towboat and barge. (2016)  Are you thinking about this tow boat?   I did send off an email to the guys who build these R/C boats. This type of boat will fit far better with my waterfront scene. But I do like the Lionel Tugs.  $200 to $250 on the web and auctions.

Yep, Boilermaker got it, DSL. I picked it up 20 years ago from Caboose Hobbies in Denver.  It’s been sitting in the bottom of the building box.  Finally got a chance to get it done. The fidelity of the wall is really nice. Wish he was still making them.
