My logging industry is almost finished. I seem to have a lot of out buildings. Almost seems too much. So with or without? That is the question. I do have more accessories to add like lumber bales and stacks of trees needing to be milled as well as a stack of pulp wood. Also not sure about the conveyor belt either
The other day I spent at least an hour just staring at the layout. Knowing something was missing but not sure what. Final conclusion? I need to build a chain link fence.
Kevin, we had this exchange a while back. I am now happy to report I have located the missing cyclones! They were indeed in the last place I looked! It seems I had put together a small box of scenery items in the layout room and had stored them in there for safe keeping..... they were safe ad sound where I had forgot where I put them! Now if I can just remember why I wanted them in the first place! Getting old is such fun!!! I like how things are progressing on your layout! Dale
It’s always in the last place looked, lol. Thanks! The layout seems to be moving along at a steady pace now. The ideas are just flowing. Now I need to get a #54 drill bit. Thought I had one.
Ok just about time for some sculptamold along the shore line of the lake. Rocks will line the steep shore line area.. Need to find a way to make the back area near the trestle look shallower than the middle. This is representing a back arm of a reservoir.
Merry Christmas from Bridge Junction. Took me three weeks to complete. It’s minus a couple items on back order is all and the sound card hasn’t been installed yet either. This is actually a removable scene. It was built on two pieces of mesonite so they could be lifted out. The scene is sitting on a swing bridge that crosses the doorway. I came up with the idea while traveling home from my LHS. I had a Christmas fair kit that I didn’t know what to do with. I think I will continue the theme of winter along the mountain as I finish it up.
Finished my back drop today. I may not be a pro but it looks decent. Nothing like snow capped mountains.
Trying out an idea. Not only is it a working logging railroad but it also has an excursion devision running as a scenic tourist railroad. Which of course will be run with a shay and Heisler with a possible addition of a climax in the future. Here we see Uintah #59 a 2-6-6-2t running the tourist line today.Here is an idea of putting a platform on site of the logging camp for the tourist part. Being a small town Uintah Junction relies on tourism as well as logging to survive. Here is the Uintah Scenic RR station. so far it’s an idea, I will need another platform kit.
Yes they are, never know what mischief bears will get into. And it’s hard to see but one scout has a bear sitting in the tree above him.
Just caught that TDF always love little stuff like this. One train club that goes to the model railroad shows has stuff like this funniest one had so many people looking was. See if you can find the spotted dowels of course they all looked for spotted owl's lol.
