long island jack Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 There's been a change to the original plan, after seeing an article on the web, which i can't find now. Opp's will be similar to the video, with an added chemical plant which will receive a tank car https://www.google.com/maps/@42.0073891,-87.9553783,260m/data=!3m1!1e3 Track laid and wired up, ballasted and weathering started, next up buildings ,which are all brick built in the area, should go quickly. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

long island jack Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) made a start on the buildings, using plasticard, then cover with brick paper. Edited October 12, 2022 by long island jack 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w124bob Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I've been indulging in OO for the last three years or so(I've now seen the light and returned to US HO), but I'm sure I've seen a similar track plan before. Buried somewhere on an old laptop are a couple of google maps overhead images. Andrews Trains blog. I found it by searching Batory Foods Elk Grove villagehttps://huntervalleylines.wordpress.com/2015/09/13/site-seeing-september-13/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

long island jack Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 Small update, had to re-do all the buildings, they had stood that long the plasticard i used had warped, so went back to tried and tested 2mm poster board, this has had brick paper added, roofs fitted and windows installed, also added first coat of 2mm static grass, the building which was at the front as a view block has been done away with, will now be an unused rundown concrete pad with out of use track. Just little steps forwards, but going in the right direction. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
