I know that there is a open shed for the boiler, but I'd sure like to see what the combo currently looks like. The subtle and controlled knot holes on the walls are great. -- KP -- Life is to short to build all of the models I want to.

All four walls are really looking good indeed. The next steps are 'fun', I'm looking forward to following your progress on them.

My bags are packed and I'll see you in a day or two. In all seriousness, the walls look great. Nice job on the nail holes. Not too big. Boiler looks terrific too. Country: USA | Posts: 24221 wesleybeks Fireman Posted - 01/24/2011 :  03:19:24 AM     Starting to really take shape Joe. I agree with the others. You really pulled the nail holes off perfectly. Country: South Africa | Posts: 2831 MorganHillRR Crew Chief Posted - 01/24/2011 :  10:37:30 AM     Hi everyone: Thank you for your kind words and continued encouragement. I probably won't make a lot of progress this week as the On30 Modular Group I belong to is doing a show. It's a 3 day event. I will definately take a picture for you Kris and get it posted. I'm going to jump ahead to the boiler shed as I have material on order for the base. I wanted to try some Gatorboard; it's similar to foamboard but supposedly stronger? I couldn't find any local so I ordered some from Micro-Mark. Take care, Joe CCCModOn30 Country: USA | Posts: 552 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 01/24/2011 :  11:12:21 AM     Joe Looking real good. Nice job on the nail holes very realistic.

Lincoln Country: USA | Posts: 13047 MorganHillRR Crew Chief Posted - 01/25/2011 :  10:23:38 AM     Hi: Kris requested a photo showing the boiler and the structure which is attached. The structure is a lot more grayish in natural light than the photo shows?? Comments are welcomed.... Joe CCCModOn30 Country: USA | Posts: 552 MorganHillRR Crew Chief Posted - 01/30/2011 :  3:59:25 PM     Hello: As suspected, I didn't accomplish much with the O Scale West train show. The On30 Modular group I'm part of participated and it was a terrific layout and show. I did manage to build the boiler shed parts and have attached a photo. I also received the material that will allow me to start the diorama base so I'm very excited about that. I've attached 2 photos from the show layout for your purasal. If I'm posting too many photos, please let me know. Thanks...

The shots of the shed and boiler are really helpful in obtaining an idea on how the overall coloring is going. It looks great!. Look forward to more of the build and lots more pictures. -- KP -- Life is to short to build all of the models I want to. Country: USA | Posts: 7237 MorganHillRR Crew Chief Posted - 01/31/2011 :  10:55:35 AM     Thanks for the reply Kris. I'll keep the photos coming. I've got the diorama engine house flooring done and will start on the boiler shed concrete foundation today. Joe in Morgan Hill, CA Country: USA | Posts: 552 MorganHillRR Crew Chief Posted - 02/03/2011 :  2:14:13 PM     Hello: I'm making serious progress now and the diorama is beginning to look like something real-I like it! Now off to the fence making factory. Regards, Joe CCCModOn30 Country: USA | Posts: 552 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 02/03/2011 :  2:42:38 PM     Joe Nice flooring and concrete pad. Starting to really look good now. Jerry Jerry "And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." A. Lincoln Country: USA | Posts: 13047 wesleybeks Fireman Posted - 02/03/2011 :  3:09:22 PM     I agree with Jerry Its looking awesome. Im keen to see more progress pictures. Country: South Africa | Posts: 2831 Frederic Testard Engineer Premium Member Posted - 02/03/2011 :  3:20:33 PM     The concrete is great, Joe. Indeed, simply assembling a few walls gives a totally different look to everything.
