          Michael,

          Both structures are fantastic. Any chance that you can post a closeup of the loading dock area of Morgan's in this month's Photo Gallery?

                  Nice work Marc. Can't wait to see it after you weather it and it's on a diorama. Also looking forward to seeing more of Chuck's pictures.

                    Bruce,

                    That is a nice looking building. One thing that I have found is that you can't have enough small buildings to tuck in here and there.

                    Marc,

                    That is a great looking water heater. It will make a great detail somewhere.

                      Thanks Mike for adding your scratch built structures to the thread.

                      Marc, amazing work you do.

                      I am always impressed when I open a post from you as I know I will see some outstanding work.

                      Also thanks to all who have posted in this thread.

                      The following are from the very first Challenge project here on the forum.

                      This is a copy of Archie Smith's Fish Warehouse in Florida that I did from pictures that Brian Nolan very graciously took for me.

                      I renamed it Brian Nolan's Fish Warehouse.

                      The structures are scratch built but the wharf is a modified Campbells kit.

                        John,

                        Great set of buildings. I can't wait to see the wharf and its building installed on the layout.

                          John,

                          Really nice! Makes me want to rush right out and scratchbuild something. Except I gotta kitbash something first.

                          Regards,

                              Nicely done Marc I also really liked the mattress spring in one of your other pictures.

                              Here is something that will be used in a 30mm mini layout the gauge is 45mm representing 18 inches. the rail is cod 332 brush painted with floquil rail brown. The ties are cut from scrap 2x4 spruce lumber and were stained with watercolour then dusted with sepia artists conte crayon. The linkages are made of flat brass and square styrene. The switch stand is styrene brush painted with Floquil rail brown, and dusted with the sepia conte crayon.






                              regards Michael

                                Michael,

                                Wow, that is amazing trackwork! How those rails pivot and the linkages must have been fun to work out! I have enough trouble wiring frogs on a turnout, but this is way beyond that.
