I've been working on a large export grain elevator for my pier.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.
(Modeling Freelance, Eastern US, HO scale, in 1962, with NCE DCC for locomotive control and a stand alone LocoNet for block detection and signals.) http://waynes-trains.com/ at home, and N scale at the Club.
pomperaugrr My first project of the new work season on the N scale Housatonic RR was to rebuild my version of Kimberly Clark, in New Milford, CT. It was close, but not close enough to the prototype. Here are three shots. The first was the original configuration, next is a Bing Maps screenshot showing the prototype and the last shows the modification I made over the last few days. The back walls and roof will be added once I get the track in its final position. Modified version: I am now happy with the compressed representation of the Kimberly Clark plant in New Milford, CT. There is much to be done, but there has been progress at least. Eric

All that piping and rooftop detail should be fun to do also. What would look great is to run the piping over that center track (2nd recessed door) to the available open area to set the machinery/ pumps etc.
Can't wait to see afinished pic.
alco's forever!!!!! Majoring in HO scale Minorig in O scale:)
Ahhh yes, the D&RGW lives!!!

Gosh, everyone, I am really blown away by how much so many of you have matured as modellers over the past few months. All your photos demonstrated excellent 'eyes' and learned techniques.

I see WPF is off to a great start already! I built and installed some utility (telephone) poles. I used 1/4" dowel rods and some square toothpicks. Other than tapering the tops, anybody have any good/bad suggestions? I'm still deciding on what to use for the wire (thinking fishing line).

Yes that is a firetower. We origionally thought to use an "N" scale one to try to show more of a distance illusion. Would have been a bit too small as it is not set back deep enough.
The rock cut was done w/ Cripplebush Santa Fe rubber molds. A bit pricey for such a large area, but worked out quite well. Something so long and large just would never have come out the way I wanted using individual molds. I wanted to get the look of a more continuous shale cut. They are very nice to work with and saved me quite a bit of tedious work. The cut was basically installed in a few evenings.
That's some really great rock work, bog40, and is that a fire tower on the mountain?
Just a B&W of an E8 preparing to leave the yard. DJ.
Finally some finished pics of a spot shown here for a while. A faily large hillside to break up a 40' run. The cut is over 10' long. Upper double trck is completely accessable from below.

Nothing major this week. I just started work on a couple of junk yards. I hope to add some bushes and weeds today.

Since I have not finished any cars this week, I have pictures of my Wabash Athearn Genesis F7's, they ran smooth and great right out of the box on the club layout, I have had these for a number of years but have never run them before.
Thanks for looking!

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
Yep another Friday the 13th, so lets make this "weekend photo fun" a great one!!
This is my latest project. A MSE 50' boxcar. Faded, grime, dirt, rust, etc.... I also added real wood for the tack boards.
