Great work. Those car loads you made look really good. Thanks also for the blog link in the first post. The "ammunition train" photo had a lot of information, not just the train, but foreground and background too. Good illustration of the railroad technology for logging and mining in that time period. I didn't expect to find so many useful ideas here to "borrow". Bob.

Country: USA | Posts: 2469 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 08/16/2018 :  6:06:17 PM     Thanks to all that are checking in. I am happy to hear feedback and that people are interested in this topic. I started building some of the class D wagons I purchased. The Class D was the workhorse of the British Light Railroad efforts in WW1. They are drop side cars and the sides can also be removed to create a bulkhead car. I will be building a Jig to help speed up the process. If there is interest I will describe that process. I also need to design decals as they as none exist in this scale.

Great job! As you think, so will you be.

John Country: United Kingdom | Posts: 27 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 08/18/2018 :  9:35:58 PM     Larry like I said before every post you make is another little adventure. Wonderful work and story. 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: 10783 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 08/19/2018 :  08:23:43 AM     Thank for the help John Rick, Jerry and Rich thank you for the nice comments. There are lots of items that are not available for this project so new skills are needed. One thing that is not made is a Class C wagon. I scratch built one earlier and it is nice but it took too long to add all the NBW details. Time to try something new, I’m calling this hybrid modeling. Thomas H Trollope did 3D design for the parts in Grey except the 12 Grandt line NBW on the base of the car. The rest is evergreen polystyrene strips.

This is a fascinating build to follow. George Country: USA | Posts: 14636 rca2 Engine Wiper Posted - 08/21/2018 :  4:54:35 PM     Every time I think, "This isn't so difficult," I then look at the models Larry and others on the forum are making. Wow. Very inspiring. Think I am going to head out to the layout room and dream for a while. :) Modeling Arizona Eastern Railroad, Hayden Junction (1920), in On30 Country: USA | Posts: 448 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 08/21/2018 :  6:14:35 PM     quote: Originally posted by rca2 Every time I think, "This isn't so difficult," I then look at the models Larry and others on the forum are making. Wow. Very inspiring. Think I am going to head out to the layout room and dream for a while. :) I find myself dreaming a lot as well. With almost 8 feet built this model RR is still a baby. I will be trying to put down 8 - 12 feet of track this weekend. Hand spiking takes time. My best comment is try something and work your way to something more difficult. It you look at the early posts it is testing putting down track then shaping clay into sandbags. Simple stuff.

Nicely done figures indeed. Karl.A Edited by - UKGuy on 08/22/2018 12:54:12 AM Country: USA | Posts: 6217 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 08/21/2018 :  6:32:05 PM     Wow Karl, long time. Thanks. George, thank you. I got a wonderful package from Neil today, some programs from Tracks to the trenches and a CD full of photographs of the event. I will be lost in my computer for a couple of days. I also ordered some more test prints from ShapeWays and Ron has 3d printed some shells to feed the war Machine. The help I am getting on this project from around the world is amazing to me. Heath designed these shells and Ron is printing them. I also acquired some o scale track. I should be able to now work on this scene.

The news from Apedale is that there may be another event but not sure when. Enjoy the pictures.
