The paint and decal varnish will be dry tomorrow. When I add the roof ventilators, stairway and a block above the 2nd story door, this will be done. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8840 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/07/2020 :  5:41:52 PM     Looking good, Dave!

Interesting to see how your developing this. Enjoying your progress. Gordon Spalty Country: USA | Posts: 237 deemery Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/09/2020 :  3:30:12 PM     OK, I'm calling this one done. Last details included the decals on the 'back' side and the white line on top of the company name on the front side, along with gluing the chimney in place. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8840 wvrr Fireman Posted - 08/09/2020 :  4:58:17 PM       That is looking great, Dave.

Bob It means I'm tired of adding details to it :-). It does need scenery/ground cover, but that will wait until I'm ready to do the surrounding area. I thought about lighting, if I decide to light this one up I can pry off the roof to get to the 2nd floor, and do the ground floor from underneath. Architecturally, this is a very 'modern' building for 1898 (the baseline date for the layout), so no need to do a lot of weathering. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8840 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/09/2020 :  9:54:33 PM       Still admiring your progress; mine has mostly been 1:1 track etc. at Seashore Country: USA | Posts: 6805 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/10/2020 :  10:45:21 AM     quote: Originally posted by jbvb Still admiring your progress; mine has mostly been 1:1 track etc. at Seashore Me, too, as mine is mostly in my head.... Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 7530 deemery Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/16/2020 :  7:58:37 PM     I started a new structure, one that straddles the corner where the HOn30 line passes. The challenge here is to keep the structure at that corner as thin as possible, to maintain clearance. I'm using the Nehrich "scribe and snap" technique, with lots of bracing (most of it on the back, but some facade reinforcement too). The last bulk (.040) styrene I got was black, which makes it a bit harder to see how this is carved. Anyway, this will be a plain brick warehouse. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8840 BurleyJim Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/16/2020 :  8:04:38 PM     When is the first OP Session? Looks really good! Jim Take the red pill Country: USA | Posts: 6164 deemery Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/16/2020 :  9:01:48 PM     Well, I can run a standard gauge loco around the loop, OR I can run a narrow gauge loco up the hill, but I can't do both concurrently because (a) I don't have 2 power packs and (b) I don't have the crossing wired to the 4PDT switch (let alone the little animation I want to do there.) And I'm apprehensive running without any scenery, as I don't want the loco to take a dive down to the floor :-( dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8840 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/16/2020 :  9:51:37 PM       Good progress, Dave. I could loan you a DC power pack. And yes, gaping chasms next to my track were a major motivator in getting my landforms complete. Though mostly it was a friend who didn't want to run his equipment on my layout till I finished. My own equipment did plenty of laps...
