JAMO Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) This "kitbashing" took me a lot of time to complete: a January exhibition helps me to progress. This week of holidays is helpful too! This time, I've weathered the model by myself. My son is working on other stuff. A little photo: the crossing sign, my composition.

F-UnitMad Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Well you have a talent for weathering too, Jack!! Just one small detail - the 'Railroad Crossing' boards should be the other way round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMO Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 I've started to build the fiddle yard for exhibitions. It's a long sector plate. It will welcome 3 tracks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMO Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) More work... the "big" brass lock is used only when we carry the module. The "small" lock shares the current to the good track and lock the track in place. A wire will connect the rail to this lock.

JAMO Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) The building is near completion. I need to weather it a little bit more. I design a big sign for the building adapting a photo of a tin on Publisher. I made a big advertising on the roof.

JAMO Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 The time is fast but this project is still on the way! This layout don't permit to store a "long short line" train. So from a while, my son and me we were thinking to extend the loop track. This time the decision is brought! We'll go to cut the module in two parts to add a portion of trackage. The first things are done: to cut the track! And the wires. The photos show what I mean... 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nice modelling with your layout. I could do with someone like your son to do my scenery!🙂 Edited August 7, 2022 by melmerby 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMO Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) More work on the layout. I've built the interface plates for the 2 modules at the same time to obtain a precise location for the holes and the size of the plates.
