It does at this point, one thing I'm glad I figured out early is that this PollyScale orange darkens when you hit it with Dullcote. I will need to weather it back to this shade after decaling.
Seeing those Moxie signs makes me homesick for New Hampshire. Ahh Moxie, got to be a native to enjoy that beverage. I'm just waiting for the detail parts to come in to finish this IC GP10. I'm working on two IC Paducahs, a Rock Island rebuild GP7 and a chop nose Maine Central GP7. Man I really love J/Geeps. ICG GP10 by Jim Wiggin posted Nov 20, 2015 at 6:55 AM
I need some buildings for my Midwest oNetrak modules. Today, I started with building this shop, loosely based on a picture from the real Midwest.
I had a few minutes to go up to the office/hobby room and orient the general store in the manner suggested... i have to agree that it doesn't look un-natural this way...
One of these days I am going to figure out how to make roads this good and everything will be heaven on T.H.E.R.R. *sigh*
The Ship That Ate My Dining Room I'm building a waterline Ti Oceania supertanker, the largest ULCC currently in use, for a museum. In N scale it is nearly 8 feet long, 17 inches wide, and 100 pounds. Probably the biggest N scale ship ever. One could build a nice layout on the deck with 7.5" radius track. The tools just add a little weight to the center while gluing up. Those are N scale cruisers from WW II in the background: the Indianapolis heavy cruiser and the Atlanta light cruiser. Also a Fletcher hull. This is a fun project! Using MDF for stability.
It does take the guess work out of the time period modeled doesn't it ? I'm getting more and more of the war bonds cars. One thing I do need badly are soldiers and sailors for my train platforms...
The box was made from grill material from an HO loco detail set. It's not perfect but will work for N.
The stern is finished; the bow blocked in. The distinctive eight-story front superstructure is under construction.
