Working on the Colorado O Scale Modelers city of Longview on the Longmont Terminal & Northern Branchline layout

Don't sneeze over that parts tray.... you'll never find the stuff  Looks great Erik!  

Just wonderful modeling, which transports me to a time of my youth. Only thing missing - - -someone walking out of the men's room with a piece of toilet paper stuck to his shoe!

Thank you Mark! I am so pleased my images brighten your day. Makes it all worth the effort for me. 

Progress today

Now for the detailing. The part I enjoy. 

Weathering is not complete. 

Beginning to come together; it's literally all in the details.. About a quarter of the way through them.

This guy needs a vacation he's been holding this rag for years. 

Garbage is important... 

I know the decals didn't line up straight, seriously I don't think anyone is going to care. They were difficult to apply; reminds me of my Z scale work.  

Wonder what that bill of sale has on it? Can of Mobil Oil, Pint of Brake Fluid, a Coke and an oil change? 

A wee wee bit of progress. 

Still fine tuning the interior details. Who sees this stuff? Anyway-- by the way I am looking into a job position at Disney and if this goes my hobby time is out the door. It has been fun but I heard back and I'm going to see what shakes out. 

Good Luck with it, Erik.   

You'll be back.  This stuff is addictive. 

Excellent work - looks fantastic

Disney ????? Fantastic Eric !!!!!!

Good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!

Busy place, still working up most of the garage details. I will stay in the hobby no worries about that. ILM was a target about 15 years ago and a friend has opened some doors out west so I may be wandering that way. 

Glad you guys enjoy the pics!

Railroad Avenue 

Mike Flauding is building some further structures for use in operations. 

Back to work! 

Went to Longmont today and set out the Longview modules for the recently completed extension. Also fitting and testing the newly worked up Mobil Service Station.  This is going to be a lot of fun sharing with the community. The intensity of detail and historical revalance to the Front Range has caught the attention of some local historical people. 

In the background located in John's basement shop are the 110" radius curve module units. They are complete and ready for trackwork. Also on tap is sidings and operations implementation. 2016 will be a big year from the Longmont Terminal & Northern model railroad.

A large space is being considered for a semi permanent set up for exhibit in the northern metro area. It's going to be a great year! Long live O Scale!

Follow your heart, young man!!!!

I followed mine about 30 years too late.  It took the hand of the Lord to reign me back in. 

A few details and I think it's a go.

Ah. I see you took the modules out for some fresh air...and natural light and borrowed backgrounds. Looks great.

Eric, all I can say is WOW! Any further information on those decals?

Eric I have been following this and the project has turned out great.  As usual Its just hard to tell if photos are from actual street or layout.

Wow!  Really great modeling!
