These sat on my bench for a while before I finished them this weekend. Still have to many things to work on... beware the foob fantasy engines, but someone likes them... Brian
My first attempt at a custom detail and paint job. Still needs the window glass installed, a new horn, some paint touch-ups, and a few paint details, maybe a few more decals... The paint scheme is for my freelance railroad, and is "inspired by" the C&O. Untitled by BGTwinDad, on Flickr
I'm working on Blair Line's Sunset Motel. It's a real nice kit. It goes together nice and tight, as a matter of fact, there's no glue on these buildings yet at all, this is the dry fit. I did a little interior on the office but I doubt you'll ever see it unless I put a light in. But, trust me, there's a figure standing behind a desk pointing at a USA map hanging on the wall. So, next is the glue up then some more peal and stick trim (I love peal and stick) roofing and singage.
Water Towers!!! I've been working on water towers for my N-scale layout, which ones look better??? Red one is an HO model no mods and its looking too big, the yellow one is the n-scale version with a longer stand pipe addred, other wise it was shorter that the silver one which looks OK. The older style I think looks good and it fits well. The Old Water Tower if also HO Scale, I think the n-scal version looked too small & short, I took the ladder off the leg, so now it can stand in for a bigger n-scale tower.
Well, actually, they aren't my SuperFleet engines technically. I did them for a guy in New York and for another in Australia. Brian
Jolly, I would not be surprised that if you took real world water tower measurements the red HO tower would be the closest to the correct size. Though, like many things used for N scale the correct size looks way to big. The older style one is still seen today all over Canada and the US so it seems to look correct to me.
I'm trying to rig up one of my vises on the work bench, which will be removable, so not in the way between those types of projects.
