Some HO Layout Progress

Keith:

I like that color..... Reminds me of Utah.


Stay cool and run steam.....

 

Thanks Bob.

I added some inside to the
tunnel and painted it black.

Those trucks are made by Boley. That happens to be International as the make but I forget what the model is. Good trucks for great prices. They have even better ones!

Great looking layout. For all you SP fan's, Stop drooling!:shade:

 

Thanks!

Here is the latest.







Now I need to decide what to do with the hill to backdrop area.

Keith

 

I still have not decided...

Here is the latest....

 

The beauty of Model railroading. Very nice shots Keith. The scenery details very realistic.

Keith:

Nicely done. What trees did you use for that scene?


Stay cool and run steam....

 

Thanks Verse and Bob.

I used these so far.......
8 ws fine-leaf foliage shaped into trees. ( These are great )
6 ws clump foliage on pine armatures.
1 ws fine-leaf foliage on deciduous armature.
1 ws lichen on deciduous armature.


Here is a photo of my 0-8-0 SP.

 

Nice Job..... did you use real dirt over your shell?

 

Thanks,

It's sculptamold covered with brown latex paint and
then just a little fine turfs earth and green and then
some fine talus.

Hi Keith! Your scene is looking very good. I like the blending of hill & trees. You say you think the ADM grainery is to big. You should try this on for size!




It measures 48½" long, 14½" high by 8" wide. The footprint for the diorama will be 72" long, by 20" wide, with a track capacity of 24 x 54' covered hoppers.

Anyway, keep up the fine modelling work Keith. LoL!!

 

Gee Whiz GS4, that is one BIG flour mill! It looks like the Light Crust mill out north of Wichita, Kansas where my uncle used to live. You must have part of it sticking out a window to have any space left in the room!

 

now thats a grain elevator. Very nice. It's almost large enough.

 

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I believe an industry should look like it can handle the amount of cars that are parked there. As you can see, it's far from finished, still plenty to do.

 

Hi Simon, Thanks.

Your grain elevator scene looks very cool.

I will have to consider something a little larger than I thought.
The size is an adjustment, I am coming over from N scale.

 

Thanks Keith and welcome to the real scale!
