For me a Whaddahellizit only a few days work usually spread over a couple weeks evenings. I did the Mylargescale Masterclass a few years ago (not offered anymore sadly) building a scratchbuilt 1/22.5 model of the Souther Pacific CP Huntington, the skill learned there and from subsequent bashes allow me knock these out pretty quickly, of course another point is to use whatever parts are on hand to build a beleivable looking freelance model without being restrained by rigidly adhering to prototype, its a lot of fun too to see where your parts supply leads you. For Whadda #2 I used a cab from a Scientific Toys loco, and scratched a boiler from plumbing pipe, scratched the tank from sheet styrene and scratched the bunker .

Large scale is very easy to bash in

Updates to the Personal Pan Pizza

I want to finish this one up so heres the layout to date:






The last picture is the true color, some reason the camera color shifts with the flash.

The bridge is now over a small wash and I’m going to do a small town/mine at the top, just something fun.

Added ball bearing wheels to the caboose, they work so good on this kind of track now I have to replace all the other shorty car with BBs. Guess I can always sell the metal wheels to subsidize the task.
