Tom, I always enjoy seeing the big stuff.

Some new JD tractors and a load of seed are being delivered to Drew's Feed and Seed.

Lots of work yet to do on this scene, people, more ground cover, litter around the dock, items on the dock, etc.

Spanky Bird I like that 9446 box car for some reason. Everything looks real good
Tom I think trash is the hardest thing to add to a scene,

Wow Les, that made my evening, a great video. That really shows off your layout. Nice job...rates two thumbs up.

Fiat fan, Drews feed and seed looks great, well worth the extra effort

I agree Les! Great video!

Neat pics Spankybird! I really like the steamer!

Tom, the Feed and Seed is a terrific building and I admire your control panel.

Here Penn Central SD9 6922 awaits assignment at the engine service area.

I modeled this specific loco number after seeing this proto photo.

Finished another craftsman kit today, a CNR wood reefer.

My new RailBox has been darkened slightly with some subtle weathering. The couplers have been changed out also. It now sports a pair or Kadee #5's.

Here is a pacing shot of the Crescent taken just after Amtrak took it on.

Nice start to the tread guys,

a variety from me.... progress pics, a tanker and another Midwestern barn.

CHEERS!

lester perry · 05-03-2008, 10:28 PM

Kyle I love that barn.
Les

**Ralph** · 05-03-2008, 10:33 PM

Me too! Tell us a little about its construction!

shaygetz · 05-03-2008, 11:22 PM

That barn is great, Kyle

I can just imagine some enterprising farmer taking advantage of a nearby derailment to make those loft doors. I knew of a farmer who bought the remains of a cylindrical hopper after a derailment, drug it out into his field and now uses it as a "silo" for harvest time. Would those be vertical blind slats used for the roofing?

Crew change at Selbyville on my B&MC shunting puzzle...

EngineerKyle · 05-04-2008, 12:38 AM

RE the barn.... good call on the vertical blinds! I found 50 linear feet of this material somebody was throwing out. Let's just say I'm set for roofing and siding for a while!

Ralph, the construction is textured wallpaper samples over a plastic box that once held CDs... and the ends are cardstock. It's sturdily held together with CA and "Liquid Nails" I cut the holes and windows after the fact.

Here's another one where I used the same techniques.

Thanks for the interest.
