Hi folks. No video this weekend, as there really isn’t much to discuss/explain. Been making some headway on scenery, although the pace has slowed. Also finished up both engines; someday in the future I will get undec. shells for all three ANRR locos (both geeps and the U23B) and paint it in the red and white scheme, but this will work for now.

First post in a while. First attempt at scratch building with styrene. Even the windows are scratch. There was nothing on the market that looked right. First time with an air brush. All I had to work with were some old pics and my memories. This is the family farm established over 150 years ago. My brother lives there now. No weathering yet and the house is still being invented. The barn interior is detailed, but I didn’t get a pic of that. I layed it out on the layout just to see it. I would dream of having it done by Christmas, but that is optomistic. I took some pics just to look. I will post more when I get some better pics and the landscaping is done.
Wonderful work as alwasy in this thread. way too many of you to mention everyone, but DJ and Art… WOW!
I have not gotten much at all done this week. Too many other commitments and still waiting for a couple of Torti to arrive to finish up the stub end switches. Here is the second one that will receive one of the Tortoise machines on order. Like the other it was scratch built back about 25 years ago.
A couple other shots of the work on the logging section of the layout from the other side of the peninsula. You can see where one of the tracks has been removed and new track laid giving a more usable curve for the siding:

busy weekend and a little late
finally have filled in the hole next to barn with a fall field. Still a work in progress.
Hi from Belgium,
Good week end but bad weather here in Belgium.
I have build two small models for my Nscale yard of my Maclau River RR.
The first is a small boiler house from Wills Models distributed by Peco; the water tank is an heavily modified deck water tank but stand as a small water tank now.
The second is a Walthers build up switch tower heavily weathered with a new base, wood deck and add on details like people, gutter, and small coal bunker and windows shade. Light is also added with white led painted yellow.

Hello Marc.
Good work on the models, It is hard to get the small details right when you are working in N Scale, but you do a commendable job of it. The weathering on the roof of the boiler house looks pretty good compared to some metal roofs that I have seen. It seems that the older and more neglected the building, the rustier the roof gets until one day it gives up the ghost and collapses in on itself.
Keep up the good work and have a great week.
Blue Flamer.

That explains why that little 44-Ton loco can pull the big string of cars; the diesel engines must have been replaced by hyperdrive motorvators and repulsorlifts working in reverse for additional tractive effect. [swg]
