    Now begins the office building

    Adding mortar lines to the brick walls



    All the walls done



    Add the glass to the window frames



    Assemble the walls



    Completed office building





    On the layout



    To finish the model I need to add decals and weather the structures but that won't happen until we get some better weather and temperatures so I can seal the structures. I have to figure out the grade needed to reach the coal trestle and then either buy something or make something to carry the track. Lastly I need to build a base for the coal yard and determine the configuration since the as recommended placement will not work on the layout.

        Tom,
        Nice job on the kits! What do you use for the mortar, and how do you apply it?
        Who makes those cool magnets?

              Thanks Scott.

              I worked on the configuration for the Coal Yard.







              Measure out the base. I used poster foam board.





              Base and surrounding ground painted

                Ramp to the coal trestle using Woodland Scenics inclines.



                I found an old Woodland Scenics concrete wall that I am using as an abutment

                  Continuing with work on the coal trestle ramp.

                  Testing the location with the coal trestle.



                  I mixed a runny solution of plaster of Paris and soaked paper towels in the mixture. I then placed them over the ramp.





                  Here is the forgotten photos of the weathered office building

                    For the walls I used Woodland Scenics Timber Walls. I cut the walls to size and lined them up to make sure everything fit.





                    I painted the walls and weathered them. Next I glued them in place.





                    Things to do next are add a layer of plaster to the ramp, weather the tracks, paint more of the foam border.

                      Tom,
                      The coal business fits in the corner real nice. Nice job on all the weathering. The signage on the office looks great! The coal trestle ramp is coming along and the timber retaining wall looks great as well!

                        Tom,

                        Great job on the coal yard. The weathering on the ramp looks very realistic.

                        Mike
