Weekly update !Not a lot of visible stuff to show this week.  I have working a few nits and had to take a couple of days off for personal business.I got some more of the Arock back edge started with talus, weeds and a few trees.[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/030807-002_r.jpg[/IMG]I finally got around to re-badging the Roundhouse 4-4-0 and the new P2k 0-6-0; and added some light weathering.[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/030807-003_r.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/030807-012_r.jpg[/IMG]For some time now, I have not liked the low sound level of the whistle in the low boiler 4-6-0.  I finally ripped out the 1" round speaker and installed a 3/4 x 1.5" oval on top of the tender deck.  Needless to say, the replacement coal load would not fit.  I made another to fit the new speaker.  It is way too large for the tender; however, it just barely covers the speaker and is just barely tall enough to actually get a layer of coal in.  That tender is the smallest one on my layout.  The tsunami fills the tender shell.It now sounds good and that is more important, to me, than having a smaller coal load.  I also added some "light" weathering.[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/031007-010_r.jpg[/IMG]Next week: a scale for the Arock mine and more basic detailing work.  I will probably start the freight dock/company store for Between as the cardboard mock up seems to be working out well.Comments ?
