Griswold Concrete Block

Another structure for my corner Ntrak corner module.
Construction begins.

Robin, are you working on a mushroom layout and a modular both at once?

 

[Matthyro]

Dash, the corner Ntrak module was actually built before I began to go the mushroom way. I just need a couple more industries to go on it to finish it.

 

[Matthyro]

A bit more progress

Hi Robin,

I continue to be amazed at your rate of production!

Have you seen this link:

It is a nice little paper pattern for making skids of concrete (cinder) block, and best of all, it's free

Every time I see you do one of these it still amazes me Robin. But women's curling? Must of been a slow sports day. FRED

 

[Matthyro]

Thanks folks for your kind words.
Thank you Andrew for the link. I sure needed it.
Dash, watching curling is like watching golf. At a very competitve level it can get quite exciting.

No problem... I know it is HO scale, but you seem like a resourceful kind of guy ( ) so I figured you could make it work.

Yes, I could see how the fast sweeping action of young female athletes could be exciting. Thanks for pointing that out to me. FRED

 

[Matthyro]

You said it Dash.
Here is the office and storage area and shows how I am making skids of concrete blocks based on the method from the link Andrew posted

Thanks folks for your continuing encouragement.
Next step is to make the corrugated steel roofing.
I use the method shown by H.R. Lloyd in the December 1977 MR
Put a piece of aluminum foil over a file and rub it with a scrap piece of balsa wood.

 

[Matthyro]

Doing the roofing. Will paint it and weather it when done.

 

[Tyson Rayles]

Hmmmmm, wonder do they make them files in O scale???

How about a close up of the conveyor? That looks interesting. FRED
