The two large load-out buildings are indeed modified HO Scale Walthers Blue Start Redi-Mix buildings. Other buildings are kitbashed N scale kits and scratchbuilt structures, like the curved top cinder block kiln building.
Thanks-had considered using them but wrote them off because they were HO-I might revisit that decision when it comes time to build that part of my next layout! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The side facing away from the viewer has the HO scale personnel door. I just left it since it can't be seen on my layout. It can be easily disguised with details like a conveyor or cyclone duct collector if you needed the structure oriented differently.
I have still not had any time to spend working on my N-scale Housatonic Layout in a while, but I did get a chance to visit with someone that is working on the actual Housatonic RR GP-35 #3604. That locomotive is being rewired and will be running again thanks to the great team at the Grafton & Upton RR shop in Massachusetts. A good friend of mine, from the G&U, saved the two front number boards from the 3604 for me. One was broken and the other a bit faded so they were being replaced. They now have a home with me. Since I can't shrink them down to fit my N scale models, I will have to frame at least the one intact number board and maybe even backlight it. Here is the intact one next to my N-scale model of the #3604. That will definitely find a place of honor in my layout room!
It really is Joe. Thanks to the invitation, I got to spend some time in and around the #3604 in the Grafton & Upton shop too.
