Thanks .There have already been changes and additions back there in the last 2 days , but this was Wednesdays shot .

Small update,got some much needed work done to the right end of the Grain elevator complex.By the way it is now known as the Gorman Grain Co.Some of the other N scalers here know who Dick Gorman is i am sure.



Some quick details,the elevator is almost 36" long and except for the loading shed is scratchbuilt. The office and garage is a painted and mildly modified Walther's Stateline Farm supply.The warehouse is a Micro-Engineering building.It will either get repainted to match the office or replaced with a Pikestuff building.

Thanks Cody . Now that's a target to live for , but a 4-12-2 and a 4-10-2 might be beyond my abilities .

Not me, I built the 3800 class 2-10-2 to figure out the frame mods needed to build a 4-12-2.  I've been a little delayed over the last year but, frame parts for this beast were cast tonight, boiler is 60% done. The engine is building upon the work done my Adam aka Drasko. Glad I have large raduis curves!!

Is that your UP class ? That looks too good to be N , even from a manufacturer . If you made that model your 50 times better that I thought , which was exceptional .

That is one helluva grain elevator, very well done, reminds me of one I used to see on trips to Milwaukee.

I wish!!!  I am likely not even as good what you thought.
It's the HO model I bought for making measurements and making parts.

I made some good progress assembling my Intermountain reefer kits. About 10 days or so ago, I had 38 left to build. Right now, I have 14 to go.


Hmm... don't tell Kiz he
has 48 Intermountain tank
car kits left to finish...

[Puddington]

Tried some subtle weathering on a mech reefer.....the stainless is always a challenge to weather....

You could almost say you're smoking the reefers...
