Today the Silver Valley RR run a train from Salina to Silver Creek. Bob Railbender took his chance for pictures.

Beautiful work on the shop, Ray.  Are those individual boards on the bench and floor, or are they a print?

Thank you sir!  The floors, bench, studding, and beams are all scale lumber from Kappler (board by board construction).  The outside wall siding is a sheet of milled wood siding again from Kappler Scale Lumber.  The belt driven machines are kits from Scale Structures Limited.

Hi everyone

My latest project was to replace a few of the skids full of boxes with a row of bins with parts for my HO Mooney's Plumbing. I like the results. I may decide to make one or two more and dump the skids entirely.

Back from vacation.  I spent my last day before returning to work putting a roof and lighting on the liquor store on Beaver Street.  It still needs a door, and some window glazing.

The interior is stuff downloaded and printed on cardstock.  The sign on the adjacent building is also a download, which I printed on to decal paper.  You may remember the character as the spokesbeaver for Ipana Toothpaste, back in the Transition Era.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

Steamage,

Can you give us some details on the loco?  Is it a GP-9?  I'm looking for one just like that.

Thanks,

Marty

Sawyer, I like the way your trees tower over your buildings, just like the prototypes.

Great work everyone! 

Well, been a while since I participated in WPF, but hopefully my pics won't break your screen haha.

Well, been chipping away at the box of Supertrees. I love love LOVE this stuff! Here's a few shots of the progress. First, an overview of the right side. Still don't have the road planned out (lost both my scale ruler and woodland scenics grader.) Anyone know how many inches wide a 2 lane n scale road is? Anyways, trees in the back, hot rod/car customizing etc shop in front of those, there will be a bait shop in front of that, train to the far right. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh55/Packers_1/IMG_5343.jpg

Anyways, here we are looking down the cut. The hill the camera is resting on will have trees, as will most of the length of the main. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh55/Packers_1/IMG_5339.jpg

Close-up of the end of the B23-7. I don't really like this paint scheme, and while I've had an idea of another, I'm not really sure. Anyone have an easy to paint two tone paint scheme? http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh55/Packers_1/IMG_5336.jpg

Close-up of the shop: http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh55/Packers_1/IMG_5335.jpg

Finally, got a LOT more trees left to make and plant. Might make a tutorial. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh55/Packers_1/IMG_5334.jpg

 

Great Work! Your tutorial on u-tube helped me out in making these trees. It was a great money saver! Love the forest and everyone's  work here this weekend. keep it up.Yes

Sean, thanks man! I'm SUPER pleased with how the trees came out; I've run out of both hairspray and spray paint so I'll have to wait until I get some more to continue work.

Carl, glad to hear it helped you out! That's why I put it up

The scene was there long before I joined the club.  I'll try to remember to ask around.
