Excellent jobs with the backdrop, mill pond, "water features" and so on! Drive on!

James Van Bokkelen came over, showed me how to use the voltmeter to inspect/debug track. Then, once he found where I put that RS-1 I got as a test loco, and cleaned A LOT of track, we ran the loco over 60% of the main line! I have LOTS of work to do, including hooking up the small yard trackage to the power bus, finding a short in one section of track, fixing lots and lots of misalignment and track glitches. But this was extremely helpful, as in 50 years as a model railroader, I can count the number of times I actually moved a locomotive on my track on the fingers of one hand! We also looked at those little LEDs that I got that are pre-wired with a resistor, figuring out likely voltage and current draw. Again, more education on how to use the voltmeter (and how to think about the problem...) dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8831 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/02/2020 :  6:08:05 PM     Like!

Congratulations Bob It's only make-believe Country: USA | Posts: 5707 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/02/2020 :  8:04:17 PM       It was a productive afternoon and I was happy to help, Dave. Country: USA | Posts: 6794 deemery Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/01/2020 :  3:47:39 PM     I got a stone arch from Russ Greene at Springfield, to cut into the wall as the outflow for the stone mill. I still have to color the arch to match, fill in and fill behind the hole, but I think it looks pretty good. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8831 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/01/2020 :  4:41:48 PM     Looks good to me, Dave! Nice find! Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 7524 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 02/01/2020 :  5:01:08 PM       The outlet adds to the realism of the scene. First rate job. Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7189 tloc Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/01/2020 :  7:19:37 PM     The whole scene seems right and very well done to me. TomO Country: USA | Posts: 4305 railman28 Fireman Posted - 02/01/2020 :  7:30:29 PM     The hole looks like nothing but the arch is sharp. Bob It's only make-believe Country: USA | Posts: 5707 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/01/2020 :  7:47:06 PM       What they said. Country: USA | Posts: 6794 deemery Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/01/2020 :  9:00:38 PM     Credit goes to Russ Greene, both the arch and the stone wall behind it are NE Brownstone products. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8831 wvrr Fireman Posted - 02/01/2020 :  10:44:02 PM       I really like the look of the mill and the new arch. That is really nice. Chuck Country: | Posts: 6654 deemery Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/09/2020 :  6:18:33 PM     In addition to some track work, I worked on the mill race outlet. I have to correct the color on the arch and touch up paint inside the tunnel, but overall this came out very nice. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8831 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/09/2020 :  6:40:45 PM     quote: Originally posted by deemery I have to correct the color on the arch and touch up paint inside the tunnel, but overall this came out very nice. dave Dave, "Correct" the exterior, visible part, maybe, but I'd consider leaving the tunnel interior alone... it looks great, and used.... YMMV.
