I've been looking in and admiring everybody's progress (but not telling you all, sorry). So I'll give a general Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
My HO brass PRR FM flat car reached a milestone tonight. I'm almost ready to tinker the trucks and couplers onto it:

Of course, after that I've still got to do stake pockets, grabs, steps, brake mechanism and piping etc...

The sand drying house is done. I'm starting the last part of the build - the sand tower.

Mike thanks for the kind comment.
James your metal work looks great.
Bruce the drying house looks very nice. That's the best I have seen with the shingles nice and straight.

Nice work James & Bruce.
Have started work on the other side extension. The roof was made the same as the other one. And again I've done a mix of shingles & tarpaper.



Painted & weathered.


Trial fit. Again, held on by sliding over a block attached to the wall.


Now to enclose the front of the ceiling section, and add gable trim, rafter tails & legs.
