Mark, an absolutely superb model. I love to just sit and stare at it.

Me, I finished a diorama that will be raffled off at the Z Scale National Convention in Denver next month.







Lots more images in the blog post.

Posted elsewhere already, but reposted here...  I'll be tinkering a little more this weekend to see what else we can do with this scene...


Great stuff so far.  David, I'd love to see the 5&10, or at least the sign, in N scale.

Coos, where did you have your decals done? I finally made it to St Johnsbury a few weeks ago, but 20 years too late. No Modeling for me this week as I was riding passenger service on Ontario Northland.

I really like the Pinsly railroads, some Claremont & Concord decals in N would change my whole modeling trejectory.....see the first three pics shown here.......

http://photos.nerail.org/show/?order=byrail&page=15&key=Claremont%20Concord


I used the smaller sublettering that comes on the HO Concord Car Shops Pinsly decals. They can sometimes be found on that bay site. The lettering is a little too big, and most of it was letter by letter. Actually, that whole decal set is a little too large,but there was a set available from Concord Junction Decals that was scaled correctly, and I know those would work better. Here is an HO Athearn SW-9 I did for my foobie road(when I was 15), using the correct size decals....The photo also shows where my forum name comes from.......



I also managed to squeeze this out of the same set used on the RS-3.....



Hope this helped you...

Excellent Update so far.  Mark, the shed turned out great!  My only comment is that the roof looks a bit too pristine given the surroundings.  I would be inclined to add more detritus to it (rocks, logs, timbers..) to better match the extent of the slide below the shed.  And maybe a bit of ravaged shrubbery where the roof meets the hill.  I have these (imperfect) comparisons in mind:

Of course I'm picking nits here - the scene 'rocks'!

In case y'all missed it in the Z thread, you should be sure to check out how small David's diorama really is:

https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=25903.msg260538#msg260538

:o

I don't have much to report.  I'm nearing completion of the upper deck benchwork & roadbed, with track-laying soon to follow.  But work is getting in the way... Here is a shot of the latest section, which will feature 4 short tunnels in a ~12' stretch:



The tunnel portals here are samples courtesy of Ed Nadolski.  I'm going to use the master he loaned me to cast proto-specific ones for this scene.  Can't wait to get to that stage!

Cheers,
Gary

Ignore the structure in the background, but here's my attempt at building a cement plant inspired by this. Looking at the pics, there’s a lot more to do besides the silos…
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1441381
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=96370

I'm going to encase the heads of the silos, because after many mitre box cuts, they're still sloping >.< The blue building is made of pikestuff kits; easy to cut and build. They're probably my favorite modular system, and they aren't even modules.
Also been doing some scenery


Finally, an overview
