More accomplishments from the past year please.

Probably the biggest undertaking of 2018 was the "Roundhouse Renewal" project.

 Roundhouse4 by Edmund, on Flickr

The old Heljan roundhouse was lacking interior detail:

It was leveled and a new foundation and brickwork appeared:

Wood had to be routed out for the inspection pits:

The Erie Northshore's "BEE", originally a gas-electric, but later converted to diesel-electric, is a modified Rivarossi combine....

The front frame and fuel tank is part of the frame from an Athearn F7, as is the front truck.  The sideframes on that truck are from Detail Associates, as are many of the other detail parts.  The headlight and class lights are from Cal-Scale, while the pilot is from a Bachmann Northern.
The rooftop radiator is partially scratchbuilt, along with parts from an MDC 3-in-1 kit, the air intakes from an Athearn geep, and some rooftop fairing from New England Rail Services, while the coach seats are from Pikestuff. 
While both front and rear trucks pick-up power, only the front one supplies the power to the track, via a Mashima can motor, mounted on its flat side, and driving through the stock Athearn drive train.  

It's a smooth runner (moreso than the jerky video below shows) and a great puller...

Both of the Branchline reefers shown below were originally billboard-style beer reefers.  Since billboard cars were outlawed before the time of my late-'30s era layout, I stripped off the lettering, and slightly re-detailed the cars during assembly.

I had decals on hand for this one...

...and lettered this one for my freelanced Grand Valley Export Company....

Alright, second try. Show me some BNSF gevos. *hint* *hint* they are NOT made by EMD, they are made by general electric. That should help.

This is the Dunnville Station, and it, and the raised right-of-way, were courtesy of the New York Central, which at one time owned a major share in the Grand Valley Railway.  Central was long gone by the time of my late '30s modelling era...

The far wing includes the railroad's express business, the near wing a Post Office, while the centre portion, accessed one floor down at street level, is the station.  Railroad-related offices mostly fill the upper stories.
