Sam - That's a very nice scene, especially the way the church is built into the hill side. Not only I have seen barns built like that here is Western Pennsylvania, but I've also seen a church built just like that as well. Only problem is I can't for the life of me remember where it was at, but the lower level was built of heavy stone just like yours.

Having trouble painting those small detail parts for your projects?

I decided to use a circuit breadboard to hold the parts for several projects.......some holes in the board were opened up with different size drill bits and the parts are held in place with a small drop of Micro-Scale Krystal Clear.

Nice photos of good modelling, gentlemen.  This thread has come a long way for many people over the past two or three years.  Most impressive! Cool

Another old layout photo from me.

Great work everyone. This is a great thread. Still nothing to share this week. I am on a break from platering my coal mine. Hopefully it will be done by next weeks thread.

Hey all,

This is a thread I look forward to each and every week. This past week I have been working on the first of two Santa Fe Warbonnets. I have the shell, frame and trucks done and now have to finish the hardwire installation of the DCC decoder hiring harness. Hope you all like because it maybe my finest work yet.

Before and after right side.

Sorry, had a bit of light wash around the stack when taking this picture. I love how this engine turned out, she has been worked hard over the years but like a timex she takes a lickin and keeps on tickin.

Here is the other side.

As soon as she is done, the one on the bottom is headed into the paint booth next.

Enjoy

Will

A good beginning guys. Keep the photos and ideas coming.

Here is a progress photo of my work on a Pennsy E-unit. Its a PK2 model that started in ACL colors.

The decaling is done and the antenna fabrication and installation are done. Next is dirtying it up with some powders and sealing everything.

I made a video earlier this week for another thread on this forum demonstrating my under-table sound decoder installation. Here is a link if you are interested:

This is always the best thread of the week thanks to all of you out there. Keep it going everyone!

Remember its your railroad

Hey Bear

Great job on the "track checker" I always intended to build one using three axle trucks, My heavy weight passenger cars and six axle diesels were the most likely to derail when I first started laying track. I never got around to it though.

Thumbs Up

Bear, I've heard of glass bottom boats before, but ......... Whistling .... Actually, it looks like a good idea.

My photo has the P 2000 Heritage 0-6-0 switching freight cars at the bakery (Stayle Bread Company).

Interesting Car Bear

Wish i would have had 2 of them when i was laying track to test overhang on the curves for double main lines to keep passenger cars from bumping into each other

Gidday All, Well it's been a very busy week, and did the usual but annoying, " Lets w##k late cos its Friday!!!", still shouldn't complain, it keeps me off the streets. Wink

As we're starting to lay track on the Club modules, this week I decided to  scratch-build a track inspection car, a scale 89 feet long and 10 feet wide and no weight to speak of.

Looking forward to the really Good Stuff.




Have a Great One Folks,

Cheers, the Bear.
