Well things have finally settle down and I'm back to working on the machine shop. I finished the back and front walls. Now I can add more details.
Thanks for looking, Roland

Thanks for checking in and commenting. The ladder is scratched. I just felt like making one. It is not finished yet. I don't know if it will stay in the building yet. Bill, The roller is part of the kit.
Ray, the color of the walls is two almost empty cans of Minwax, one pine the other walnut mixed together. I hope I don't run out because I would never be able to match it. There is also a bit of black chalk rubbed in to add darker shadows.

Roland,
Very nice work.
Is the pump car scratch built or part of a kit?

Thanks Bill.
Tom, I have had the handcar finished and laying around for a long time. I think it is a Wiseman kit, but can't be sure.

I finished an electrical box today. Box is made up with plastic bits. The 1/16th tubes pass through and extend through the base flush with the bottom. A 1/32nd wire will come out the top and lights will be attached to it. After the model is placed on the layout 2 more 32nd wires will plug into the bottom. I used this setup on the enginehouse and it works fine.
Thanks for looking, Roland
