Tetters, that’s so nice about modeling, you can allow yourself being distracted and enjoy it! :cool: It was much easier to solder the tubes together than I expected. The smallest piece (on the end of the longest tube) was the easiest to do. I did not cut the tube completely, so that I could...

Great start to this weeks thread :wave:. Here is a pic of he packing house scene I am working on.

Steve, Wayne, Bernhard, you are too kind, thank you! :wave::wave: Wayne, you are right, the shingles look good in that color, but I want to paint them because the shingles on the prototype are light gray. And besides that, I already have some houses on my layout with dark tar paper roofs and I...

Josh, Shane, Bernhard, thank you for your kind words :wave:. Bernhard, I can’t take any credits for this method to build a structure, but it is a very good and easy way to achieve very nice results. You should give it a try. Just a short update. Works on the structure were delayed due to bad...

I am glad you like it :wave:, thank you. Ed, it is a GP-7.

I am pretty sure that I am not Jess :mrgreen:, but thank you for the pics, Val. They don’t inspire me to paint an elevator like that, they inspire me to scratch build the whole structure. Do you have some more pictures that show the other sides? Looks like it is completely clad in metal, but I...

Wayne, thank you for that most enjoyable ride. It made your layout come alive and the b/w photos even added to the realism. :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

I know, I know, I just hoped no one would notice, that there was no driver – I am still working on it....:oops:. You guys look much to closely at pics :mrgreen::mrgreen:. BTW, it is a ’55 Chevy. Thank you guys, for your kind words. Herc, there is nothing special to my ground cover. It is a...

Great pics everyone :thumb:. Don’t have much to show at the moment. Here is a photo of the area on the right end of my layout I am working on.

On steamlocomotive.com you’ll find some information (and links) on N&W’s Northerns. Hope it helps. Norfolk & Western Js

Lookin’ good :thumb::thumb:. Glad you found the problem and can go on now :wave:.

Val, I’ve seen these Busch mats at my LHS. They looked really good, but I backed off from buying when I saw the price. I will defintitely go for the Silflor mat. Thank you for the info.

Val. thank you. I am already using the Silflor prairie tufts, but haven’t used their scenery mats yet. Looks like a must have.

Val, your weeds look fantastic. What did you make them of?

Once again, guys, thank you for your kind comments. I am glad you like it :wave:. Steve, it’s end of November, evenings are loooong, weather is miserable, German TV is lousy and it’s a nice "baby", does not need much looking after ...:mrgreen::mrgreen:

A short update. I built two more roof vents and glued them to the roof. Next step is to finish the brick wall at the right end of the structure.

Wayne, excellent job and tutorial :thumb:. A shame that I probably never need a lagged pipe :oops:.

Congrats Gary for you first successful open house. I am glad you enjoyed it and everything went fine. :thumb::wave:

Andrew, you are right, but the closed vents on the prototype still look like vents and not like a solid wall :wave:.
