I'm locking this only because - even though they are different years - having two "September" WPF threads will be confusing...

WOW, thanks for that reference. Now I just have to look more closely and figure out what exactly I'm looking at.

Tinplate ToddlerEd - you are late in contributing to this thread - by 5 years!
Seems like only yesterday
Brian seems to have a penchant for resurrecting vintage threads and I could have replied to his new one but he specifically addressed that one to Mr. Jeff Carlson so I chose to reply in one of my favorite threads, Weekend Photo Fun
I hope it helps Brian get a good start on his LAUPT project and that it doesn't go off the rails!

The last several views are actual plans for the building.
Download them, print and scale them to HO or whatever scale you would like.

Matt, can you give me some dimensions for you train station,...I want to build one just like that. I understand there was a walthers kit version of this station but it is no longer available.
Not sure what plans Doug used but here's some links that may be helpful.
An additional link for static grass applicator DIY plans. The 12V ion generator works far better than the flyswatter, but the flyswatter is both quick and inexpensive to make.

Steelman65Hi Doug, are there plans on how to build the static grass applicator?

My thanks, as well, PM Railfan, for the kind words. I'm also a big fan of Mike's work and photos.
Thanks PM Railfan for the nice words. I have more in the gallery on this site if you're interested.

More awesome stuff this week.
Last night I managed to build ome mountains leading up to the east portals of the Galittzin and New Portage Tunnels. I hit a bit of a snag when I bought a roll of cheap paper towels from the dollar store. When I dipped them in plaster and lifted them out, they disintegrated. So I had to switch back to Bounty. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for.
I also built a mockup of the east portal of the Gallitzin Tunnel. I'll do the same for New Portage shortly.

Thanks to everyones contibutions, helping to keep my sanity, and inspiring me to try harder.
Thanks also for the kind and encouraging words.
My weekend is almosy done, to those in Northern parts, have a Great Sunday.
Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
Outstanding work in these pics, at every stage from pieces to trophy pics
Those are very realistic looking logs. Is that stuff native to Maine or is it more commonly encountered?
Today I finished a Northeastern Scale 70 foot puplwood car kit for Boothbay Railway Village. The kit was assembled and painted by another volunteer; I added the decals, weathering and a pulpwood load made frm sticks and twigs I collected from around my house. The assembled kit weighed 0.8 oz, and NMRA recommends 5.8 oz for a 70 ft car. I doubted the "logs" would add 5 oz to the car, so I made two cores from a scrap piece of plywood, shown here being test fit on the car. They need to be beveled to match the center suport, cut a bit shorter and the lead painted black
Here the load is almost done; I cut the logs 8 ft, 4 ft and 2 ft long. The 8 ft ones went on the end between the bulkhead and the core; the 2 ft ones on the sides of the cores; and the 4 ft ones on top. I put a wood screw on the core to use as a handle so I could remove it when the load was almost done, to add more weight.
This is the finished car
Been quiet this week, so here's a quick shot I whipped up.
It is set in my yet to be finished roundhouse on my yet to be started museum section of my eventual layout. Yes, both of these locomotives will be operating steamers in my universe.

These are the opinions of an under 35 , from the east end of, and modeling, the same section of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway. As well as a freelanced road (Austinville and Dynamite City railroad).
A station scene. I've just completed painting a few HO scale people and decided to put them in this photo.
One day I'll finish this area.. :) In this shot the only ones I painted were the man in gray and the one you can hardly see standing behind the post.

Bear,
Thanks for launching another episode of WPF. Wow, 1958 plans, some things never go out of style, good job! I seem to remember following a few of those DIY in a weekend magazine articles that I was still working on a month later.
Making a little headway with a DTD kit bash.
Thanks to all, Regards, Peter
Work is progressing on the Steel Girder overpass bridge. I have the bridge permanently in place and now I am putting in the "fill" on the other side of it:
I have also been rusting some rail in the yard. You can easily see the difference between the unweathered and the finished rail. When when all the track has been painted, I will add other trackside details and ballast.

Some really great pictures already today. Here are a few pics of night switching at the North Atkinson Paper mill.
Trackwork, lots of trackwork I'm working on right now. I'm laying the two inside mainlines. Finally got the girder bridge track completed. Now I'm working on the curves on the upper left corner.

I finally got around to making my static grass applicator.
After a bit of practice I started to get the hang of it.
