Sunday Scenic Showcase May 19,2013

HI Alan, It looks like it is coming right along NICELY. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Where are the rest of the weekend posters?? Did I miss something???

Looking great Alan and Bill!!!

Gene thanks. Alan is doing another great job for us.

We are off to a bit of a slow start, aren't we? Everybody must be out enjoying the stormy weather.

Looking good, Alan.

I don't have a lot to show but since there seems to be an opening I thought I would show some never before scenes from behind the scenes of the Burlington Coffin Co.

In case someone hasn't seen the BCC on the SSS B4.

This is pretty much how all of my buildings are done unless I know for sure they will be seen from all angles.

The roofs, backwalls and, at least for now, the floors are all removable.

(Except the ground floors).

Always great stuff from Graziano Construction!

Well, I never payed much attention to the PS-2 CD Grain Hoppers or the GM&O.

I always thought they looked a bit awkward sitting high off the rails.

Since I decorated several of these cars for a customer, this model and road changed my opinion. I just had to have one for my own collection.

That's a beauty, Steve !

Vulc, you must have posted at the same time. Good to see more fine work from ya!

That's a stiff project you have there.

S.

Nice work fellas! Its been pretty slow on the brewery project with the big hang up being bottles. Found one at Michael's which is the right size but now I have to create a mold to duplicate it. Found some others on ebay which I am looking into also. 

Another project I started yesterday is this autorack unloading ramp. I searched everywhere for an O scale one but had no results so I started to build my own. The main frame work for the ramp is an old Hess truck that I disassembled. 

Have a great week!

A couple of really good projects goin here!

Great work everyone!

!

Steve,

What you did with that car is magnificent.

George,

The brewery is coming along. The bottle filling line is looking good.

Bill,

I am glad you are happy with the building so far. I will send you more pictures.

Alan

Alan pictures will be great. Thank you Bill

Alan,

How did you do the truss work?  jig, mold? Looks great.

Dave

David the truss work was done on a laser. Bridgeboss, Jim R BUILT THE ORIGINAL TRAIN SHEDS for me. I had them built to use as shops and then decided to have them enclosed to help keep spme of the normal basement dust off. Alan is making the enclosure a little wider to all for 6 tracks of ATSF ABBA ENGINES and all the switches to fit inside 5 of these train sheds plus a 3' extension on the rear.

Below are Bridgeboss train shed drawings plus the modifications we are using to enclose them. Alan has used only 2 0f the 5 train sheds so far.
