Less-than Car Load at MFA shed Hawk Point Mo.
Slow day today on the wpf. I am working on a tyco c630 my parents bought for me at a yard sale. I gave them a list of what was good to buy and they didn’t look at it. They mean well I guess so I decided that I would put a new athearn frame on it with athearn trucks to make it look better. I am also waiting on a superdetail kit coming in the mail. Other than milling the frame and thinning it a bit I have filled the old truck mounting holes and filled the pilots. It will have mu hoses and antennas added as well as whatever is in the kit.
here are some pics
I also put a mashima tan can in my rivarossi 2-8-4 this week but I have no picks yet. I am going to do something about the pizza cutter flanges, anyone have any suggestions? I also did some work on some passanger coaches and am deconstructing a turntable for a repaint and detail.
Nice start, everyone.
A couple of loaded TOFC’s. DJ.
A great start to the weekend.
Peeking through the trees:
Oooo…some very nice images shared already. Niiiiiice. [8D]
This is my first ever building scratchbuild. It is incomplete…needs strapping and a chimney with flashing at the base, glazing, etc. But, I thought I’d post an early view. My hat is across the room for you fellows who make flawless and entirely believable buildings that are so much more complicated and intricate. Sheeesh…I don’t know if I’ll ever manage it.

Driline, I really like your tank trucks. Where did you happen to pick them up?
Get pictures folks, I might add a few later.

Grampy…Your modeling and photography of it just plain inspires me. The details and weathering of your work is what motivates me to walk downstairs and get dirty. Bravo!!..Tim
Thank you, Tim, much appreciated. DJ.
Started working on a farm scene this week. I still have ground cover and weathering to work on this weekend
Pretty good for a first time scratch build
The roof looks good as do the rafters
Are you gonna add glass windows and a door ?
Well, I have some of the Denfield New Life grain elevator complex to show. Not sure why my pix show up furry but I’ve got my suspicions[B)] Did not use macro focus----[banghead]
Here are a few pictures of my completed cars.

Great work DJ, who is the manufacturer of the Mack truck? HO Scale I assume?
