Show me something scracthbuilt

Here is something I scratch built to go with my Walthers coke ovens: a guide car (to guide the hot coke, being pushed out of the oven, into a waiting quencher car);  and a door car, which propels both itself and the guide car.  The door car latches onto a coke oven door and lifts it away before a push, then restores it afterward.

Needless to say, I still need to paint and weather these things.

Show me some more scratchbuilt or kitbashed stuff.

I just built the freight depot on the far right from spare parts in a bunch of Walthers Modulars kits.

Show me a turntable.

Rich is too fast for me. The request is a turntable please show one as he requested.

Please excuse me while I show this photo to Ken.

Ken .... Here is a similar machine I scratch built for my coke oven. It is based on one the the Steel Making book by Dean Fritag. (The ugly crane is from a European kit, and it is to clean up spills.)

Well, it's been a whole day and no orange caboose. Here's a tuscan red one instead. Let's see a grade crossing.

27 hours with no modern road crossing, and almost falling off forum page 1

This is an in progress photo of Greenvale Village. Still a lot of scenery and detail to go. I Photoshopped a blue "sky" background to elimimate the cluttered real background.

Show me the newest thing on your layout

I rediscovered this while moving some boxes around recently. It's a DJH Models kit I built,probably about 1990.

Show me a loco you built,or re-worked extensively.
