Sunday Scenic Showcase October 8, 2023

York fever is in the air!

Slow going, I’ve been spoiled by Korber and Dennis Brennan…..the molded-in windows of Building Unlimited are tougher to deal with and take lots more time!

Have  great Sunday and week, everyone!

Was changing out smoke detectors and was in the basement again.  The transfer yard:

Thanks for sharing your terrific work this week Alan, Peter, and Pete!

I’m making slow progress on some scenery. Got a retaining wall cut and fitted, tunnel liner in, and work on the crossing in this little area.

I am working on a new tavern kit from Frenchman River and found a spot for it to live in on the layout. It will have a fully detailed interior eventually with homemade LED lighting. I decided to print the interior as an insert. Hope to have it done in the next few weeks if things go well:

I hear you Peter, the molded in doors and windows are a real pain in the neck.

Wow guys some really nice progress this week! Norm looking super!

Here is a coal barge I knocked out- plan to place it in my harbor. It was originally a car float barge, but I modified and added some “coal”

Great work everyone!

Nice work Rich. Where did you get the coal?

Dave,

Thanks.  I found sand blast media from tractor supply.  There are a few different sizes I don’t recall which size this is.  For a maybe 10 or 15 pound bag it was maybe less than $20.  You get plenty of material for much less than modeling materials.

Great work everyone, and thanks for sharing! (Wow Alan, Wow!) well, I’m late as usual, but I am getting closer to finishing up my George’s Song Shop record store kit bash. I have finished the interior details. I have the outside brick walls painted and using the mortar formula now to weather the brick on the mower and upper levels of the building. Then it is just tackling the electrical aspect with lighting. Have a good week!

Rich,

The stuff you found is also known as black beauty. It is actually slag from a steel mill. Under a microscope it would be seen with very sharp edges.

LT1,

Very nice job on the record store and the interior.

Great showcase everyone.

Very nice LT!
