Looking great fife

Well it's been a while getting to these but I sent the roofs out to be sand blasted and the turn around was slow due to a lot of things mostly me but finally got them back and I primed them and then painted them today after looking at the out come I believe I will be looking for Paint to match the bodies and maybe even the windows/doors. But the roof's were the worst so they really needed to be attended to. 

Before and after pics

A few weeks back, my buddy Phish asked me to post some pics of a Marx Freight Terminal that I had slightly modified.

Simple wood strips and a mitre saw, patiently wood glued together on parchment paper.

I aim to place the terminal between the viewer and the train, with the beautifully detailed Dept56 hitches in the foreground.

I've read a lot of folks that say Marx's fright station is meant for standard gauge, but I think the General looks right at home next to it.
