This old 2-8-0-war horse has finally had its day; she will just sit out the rest of her days in the knowledge that she served her country well.

Another project finished

Here's another scratchbuilt structure, which is a mirror image of an FSM kit from a few years ago. I liked the original very much, but it was the wrong way around for my track situation, so I reversed it. You will notice that nothing as yet has been done between the tracks as far as scenery, this comes later

New scratchbuilt structure

Here's a scratchbuilt structure I finished a few weeks back, just needs weathering and the grey card taking away and bedding into the baseboard. The final structure I am just on with is a new Sawmill with a footprint of 15" by 11". Should have this completed by the new year.

0n30-Duck

Here's my scratchbuilt Waddling Duck, the only part I didn't make was the cab from one Model A Ford . The power unit was the chassis from an old Bachmann 44 tonner.

Took me three weeks from start to finish.

Sun shades and Wind repellent aid.

Okay, I can now say my little people will keep warm if we have a breezy wind or if the Sun shines too bright at the Cooncreek sawmill.

Structures I have scratchbuilt

I was looking at some photos of structures I had made over the years, and thought you might like to see some of them. These are not all, but all are HO scale.

Here we go again

Been playing this afternoon with my new (TOY) hehe
All I have done is just re-size them, and add lights. Nothing else needed. Wow, what a machine this is.
