As Promiced, here is a video of the operations on the "Mutual Lumber Switchback #3." Sorry it took so long, I had to fight with youtube about the copyright of the music.

Spent a nice couple of days at Ocean City with the family... pushed back my deadline a couple of days.  Progress is coming along nicely, but definitely not ready for prime time!

Anyone else got anything?

Thanks, I wasn't happy with it untill I took some shots of it. this is one of the few things I have made that looked better in pictures than in person, IMHO. the Climax is about 1.5 years old now, and still running strong. the valve gear was a PAIN IN THE a$$ to make thought.....

Finally... better late than never...

I present to you, Nathan's Supply and Equipment...



















This was a fun project... especially since everything in it came from the parts bin... not a single dollar was injured in the process of building this diorama!

Awesome!  The diagonal orientation of the scene is really great.

I never got past the building the base and track for mine as the rush to get something presentable on the Simonds Industrial Branch for its first show on April 14th has got in my way! :facepalm:

I am in the same boat due to tearing out and restarting my layout.  But I still think this was a great idea to get some new ideas out there!

Since I don't like to leave things unfinished, I searched high and low for both a good barrel tile roof solution, and somthing to move us toward stucco on the walls.  The Stucco part of the challenge was solved with a can of texture spray pint from the ReStore:



The blue door is prototypical for a station or two in southern Spain, though the discoloration caused by Bondene wasn't in the original plan.

Roof tiles are harder to do in N scale these days - Plastruct has discontinued their 1:200 Spanish tile styrene sheet, and finding one on  line was a no go.  SO I ordered some tile roof etching from Micron Art (!), painted them Rustoleum Cinnamon in Satin, and CA'd them to the roof underlayment:



still need to paint the windows and install the strip styrene trim.

Progress is good!  We heart progress!  The ridge tiles look kind of tricky... any thoughts on how that's going to work out?
