Show Me Something October 2015
Posted by superbe on Friday, October 2, 2015 8:34 PM

Here we go again into another month. I'm woking on my first montain / tunnel and here is one of the portals.

The rock on the right is scraps of rubber rock and on the left dry wall mud.

Please show some of your scenery construction. An old topic I know but there's not much left that is new.

Hey Guy

Here is my horse farm?

I enjoy seeing all of the work others do. One of these days I might get the energy to start again.

How about a American 4-4-0 with passenger train?

Cheers

Lee

Well, here is an old farm set in a group of trees. Hope that's good enough!

Show me an oil farm, or an oil distributor.

Since there was no reply to the coal crushing plant, I'm putting up a small town.

Give me another small town.

It's been a couple of days waiting on this one, let's change it.

Show me something on your layout that is made of 'metal' and 'wood' other than track.

Ambulance taking crew from caboose of wrecked freight on my old layout.

Basically, one car derailed on the train, and with my camera nearby, I staged the "crash" just for pics.

Show me another scene temporarily staged.
