2ND Gauge Layout party

[N Gauger]

And here'e the complete finished Bridge.. It's 4' Diameter & 8' End to end I started it on Dec 23rd 2003 & finished today 4-10-04

I'd again like to thank those that helped me spitfire, absnut, shamus, jim, kettlestack, alex, 88 fan, Mac, brakie & jon monon, both in spirits & the ideas you gave me

This was the first "long term" major construction I ever tried designing & building alone. and... No... If it weren't for The-Gauge, I would have never tried it or I would have given up 1/2 way through.

Mikey, who has to keep the barrels full? Risky job with that little platform way up there. Very nice modelling friend

Project status: Foamrail module is constructed. Track is laid, Electrical stuff is done. Scenery has just started: a little bit of grass is planted and some work toward a small rocky hill completed.

This week I'll keep planting grass and maybe work on the backdrop / view dividers a bit.

...and an overall view of the module looking down the divider.

Nice going everyone. Folks look like things are progress. Hopefully I will have some time the next few days to work on my project.

Nice work guys. I got a roof on and installed some interior machinery and made a mixing tank and elevator for the roof. Going to add some details next like pipes and a mixer motor. Happy Easter all. FRED

Great Stuff Fred!!

This thread shows lots of action. Good work Jack and Fred. Nice to see what you guys are up to.

Well I finaly made some progress. I added glazing and shades to the windows of the cupola and dormers and built them. I attached the cupola and the dormers to the roof. I also attached the vent to the roof and painted its roof. I painted the chimney and the chimney top and attached them to the roof. I also weathered the cupola, dormers, vent, and roof. I still need to weather the chimney and give the whole station some more weathering.

So here are the progress photos.

Now is the time to also start the diorama base.

1 Goal Completed: Shamus Forest

I am considering the scenery "done". As layouts og, they are never really done, but you reach a point where you can call it that. It's close enough to what I want. Of course, I could always add a little here or there, but I consider it a completed project:

Macro shots are in the photo sction:

Great job (so far) Jon :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

The scenery looks great jon, only I don't think that upper bridge will pass a DOT inspection . The rest looks simply marvelous. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: and a check plus. FRED

 

[jon-monon]

Thanks, guys

Dang, those LPB's skip out on logging and steal the posts fromt he span bridge and turn 'em in. Have to have them redo it now
