<<quote user="S&G Rute of the Silver River" - Good idea, where'd the flat go?>>

I'll be using the flat as the base for a small logging crane like the one in this month's downloadable plans - http://www.trains.com/grw/default.aspx?c=a&id=799

This is a small facility for diesel fuel service. The tank is from an AristoCraft 20 foot tank car. It sits on a wood platform constructed of two cedar bents and additional framing. Bits of brass tube, a brake wheel and 12 gauge wire make up the pipe and hose detail.




and here with my still cherry USAT GP-7 I picked up from a club member who was downsizing for $50!
