Great work as usual every one. Doug, I like your subtle weathering on all your pass and freight cars just enough IMO.

One has to keep a sense of humor when one is deep into a very tedious and patience-trying task.
Four wheels down, two to go.

Doing some test fitting of my C39-8 shell. It needs some tweaking but it's almost good to go.

Got to make the control box from some old raised panels from my last kitchen.  Scraps made the box.  This is the same cherry I used to make the cabinets supporting the layout.

Door closed:



Door open.  The back side of the door supports a programming track.  The UP5 panel is on the far side of the box where the throttle is seen.



I can't wait to start messing with CV settings... I think!  :scared: :D

Well not as good as some work being done here but this kit looks simple but is a real bugger to build. The tower stacks rings and the rings are all larger on the bottom (for mold releasing I assume) , so hard to get it sanded smooth when glued up. Then comes the tedious sprue cutting of all of the conveyor. It is hard to get straight and I used very thin evergreen rod at the joints of the canopy. Not sure how to get coal all the way down the belt line inside but have a couple ideas , then weather the outside and need to brace the uprights somehow.







Thanks for taking a look, Mike

That is some nice work Mike. It would look great on the new layout I am planning.  Do you want to make a second and send it over?  :lol:

For the amount of work involved in sanding the tower smooth I would probably have tried to find a piece of plastic pipe about the same size.  But, then, I'm lazy...

That conveyor looks like what I need for my mining company.

Isn't the C40 chassis a little long? I thought the C39s were a few feet shorter.

Luckily they were the same length, that made things a little bit easier.
