    Diesel Sanding Tower

    Here is a small project that has been on my workbench for quite some time. Only today did I take these photos of it. Finally etched some details where it NOW actually looks like a Sanding Tower. I still have a few more details to attach before painting. There is a possibility that I could make alot of these, but for now, this is the only one I have! Enjoy the photos!

    These were the best 4 photos I took. Will post completion photos in a week or two. This is a Spare Time Project!

    I think Tim is jumping head first already, Don. The only way for us to get more is to buy more of his models. I know I miss some of his releases, because I sure could use one of grain elevators now.Tim, I know you been telling us about it, but its still amazing when we see it for the first time.

    Believe me I have tried to buy some things, but "never get an answer" to my emails. I have been able to buy a few things, but certainly 100 of something is over my budget.

    Rebuilt my trestle deck.
    [​IMG]

    It had a hump in it, the rails were warped, and it gave grief at train shows while running steam, so I fixed it. Tore off the rails and deck, adjusted bent's height with a straight edge, made new deck, laid new rails and guard rails, and added the water barrels. Now it's level.

    Rob,
    The trestle rework was a gutsy thing to do. As the show gets closer you get pretty daring, like fishing in the swamps with Crocks.... It is looking good.

    Robert,
    People being mauled by bears and eaten by alligators, It's like a tiny "When Animals Attack" episode.
