Some things I worked on today.

Hi guys, Yeah, I am still at it and around. Wink

Rain day work with the items I got at the Garage sale. I have $25.00 invested. The rest is time and stuff I have around.
 I weathered and dulcoated the station and made the ramp with stuff I had around.  It already had plenty of dust on it so I just left that and went from there.
 I did run into issues with the Dash 8 40Cs going through the station, so I had to reconfigure the outside support wall. Works fine now.
 I am a happy camper. :P
It fits in nice and it is LOW BUDGET!!  ;)
$20 for the coaling station and $5 for the crane.

You can do a lot with a little.  ;)

Here is a Lionel #38 made from 1913 to 1924. This is part of a Standard Gauge collection. The collection was wrapped in newspaper from 1968, so it has not seen daylight for 46 years.  I took it out of the paper and put it on the track.

Summertime... the clockworks don't get much exercise this time of year, but since it was 100 degrees here today I decided to run some windups.  Here is a Marx Mechanical Mercury passing the Girard depot:
