Great start Kevin

I really like your diorama!!! Simply love the Chevy!!!!

Bear, you do need to do more on your workbench, slick hoppers.

David very nice scene as always.

Kevin got me hooked on building a diorama and about the only time I can work on mine is when my arthritis lets me.  This is what I have so far.



The house and crossing are powered by Arduinos, the house on a Uno random lighting controller and the crossing with a Nano.  The vehicle lights are LED the Aeromotor is powered with a 12 volt gear motor running on 5 volts.

Lost of work needed, I also want to go with static grass.

Thanks for starting WPF, Kevin.  A good looking diorama.

Bear.  Those covered hoppers look really good.  Well done.

 

Nothing much from me.   I just ran trains when I could.

Gidday All, it’s a clear but cool Friday evening, might be a frost in the morning.
It’s been a long time since the Bear has had actually used the modelling workbench but I decided that it was time to do something, so I’ve started on these Bowser covered hopper kits.

Welcome to Weekend Photo Fun

May 21, 2021 through May 23, 2021

All Are Welcome! 

We made it to a brand-new weekend.

This is the thread where we gather to share fun photos of our model trains. This is always my favorite thread every week.

Lets get it going with another of my older photographs. This one is a scene I assembled on my 30 inch square photo-prop diorama.

I will do my best to be a good host this week, certainly better than I did last week. I am in a better mood now.

Let's have some fun!

-Kevin

Living the dream.
