    Graff,

    Wow! Really nice weathering! I can see (literally) what you mean about the slides I wonder if they will work in Z scale?

    Thanks!
    I think they would look perfect in Z.
    Made the panel over the entrance.

    It's really fun to build in O scale!

    I made a window frame for the door as the plastic part was missing.
    I even overlap joined it....

    I've started on the front of the Pool hall:

    All is built up with wood, except from the door frame and doors.

    Graff,

    Looking very convincing! You are one of the Railroad Line masters when it comes to weathering.

    Thanks. :)
    I've finished the front facade for the Pool hall.
    It's just some small details to add.

    I've started building the upstairs walls of the pool hall/saloon/hotel:

    The framing is built up of wood, the siding on the back wall is scribed sheet.
    The side walls are to be corrugated metal and the front wall board by board.

    How did you do the nails? They stand out perfectly!

    I use a dulled needle from an old drawing compass. I have mounted it in a wooden handle to make it easier to use.

    The random boards on the siding pulling away from the building are cool.

    Hi all!
    I'm currently rebuilding my layout from HOn3 into On30.
    And the western part of it needs a nice eyecatcher.
    As a big fan of the game "Red dead redemption 2", I have found a lot of inspiration there.
    What really caught me was the town of Annesburg and the mine there.

    It will require some selective compression to fit, and also some alterations.
    But it will sure be a big building in O scale.

    I've drawn the mine in CAD.

    It'll be quite large in O scale.
    There will probably be some alterations made as I go.
