Hi Paul, yes the bridge plate was scratch built. I used clear styrene on the bottom for the feet. I painted them silver to look like metal. Feel free to copy!
After the total rebuild of my layout I am starting to place industries back down. The first one to have the basics added is Lakeland animal feeds. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
General Mills on the LAJ sends out the shells/husks for animal feed. Up into the '60s it was shipped in boxcars & now in covered hoppers.
Must be marking territory, he in 2 different places in the photos, that or a small bladder! Come to think of it 1/87!!!
I think we all have little scenes set up for people to discover... I know I do! Just not sure I would trust THAT van! LOL! JMS
I am currently working on something fun. It's what happens when you are a modeler and go to Disneyland. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
I'm building a Pike Stuff kit, for an industry, and I wanted to smooth the inside of the building so it wouldn't look like all Pike Stuff kits do with the deep groves to cut the walls to different heights. So, I bought a No Hunting sign from the big box store, and I use that to line the inside of my building. This way I can detail the inside and it looks OK.
I will have to remember that one... I used the paper/cardboard insert that came with the kits! LOL! Thanks! JMS
I have 19 switchable industries and team tracks on the layout: Oil & petroleum distributor Freight houses Railroad supply house Brewery Scrap metal yard Manufacturing buildings Feed and supply REA building Team tracks Packing house Here's a sampling of the industries: (first pic; loading tracks for these two are behind the buildings, barely visible here) John
