Sunday Scenic Showcase September 29, 2024

Thanks for starting us off Alan. I’m continuing with work on the concrete parking lot, just testing fit and color consistency of the various pieces. Also working on the access road, cutting, fitting, and priming the Masonite so far.

Anthony,

The tanks you constructed and the dike walls came out great. You have really done a good job with this.

Due to the craziness of the wind storm here in Ky I nearly forgot this morning I had begun a Todd Architectural sign for the roof of a RailKing warehouse building. Began with early stages of assembly & spray painting.  Now I need to find a good source for Express Agency trucks as additional scenes with the warehouse.

@Alan Graziano, wow, how big is that thing and di it actually float?

A while back I posted pictures of my scratch built Vehicle Assembly Building.  The interior wood bracing stood out starkly against the white poster board so it was time to spray the interior with some gray paint, add some lighting a US flag and the Nasa meatball.

The flag sticker needed to be bigger but this was the biggest reverse field flag I could find.  I also disguised the battery box for the light string as an air handling unit by adding a fan to the top.  I thought the picture showed that a little better.

Work on the intermodal yard continues.  More detailing of the entrance gate, finished off the air handling unit and duct work.

I even painted the cones that came with the Plasticville interchange.

I was hoping to have the yard office finished but things didn't go as planned.  Hopefully I'll have that for next week's SSS.

Thanks Alan, I’m just learning from you!  Once I finish some scenery, I’ll get to the pipework and lines to the tanks, fencing, etc.

The F 3 Sante Fe power consist pulling the beer train, appraoching the South Main Street crossing, just before dawn this morning...

That's one heck of a small town nestled in those foot hills.

Coach,

The barge was about 10”x 24”. I think it would have floated if I put it in the water.

Your building looks great.

Thanks, coach...I appreciate  for the comment...

Great stuff everyone!

Just drove back to Richmond from NYC after helping my daughter get ready for a move in Manhattan. Great to relax looking at the pictures!
