Here's a couple of projects I've been working on the last couple of weeks that are almost done. Here's the reefer repair shop at Northern Maine Junction built 1964. Next is a fertilizer distributer, got to keep those pototo fields fertilized. Got another car finished up this week also.
The club pamphlet states that it is 9 scale miles long. For more information here is a link to their Web Site. http://www.scarborough-model-railroaders.org/ 9 scale miles is the HO layout, my mistake, here are the stats for the N scale Track mileage 57 scale miles of track > 11 scale miles of staging tracks > 33 scale miles of mainline (and served industries) > 12 scale miles of branchline (and served industries) > 200 turnouts
It's a big layout. Mathematically, from the website, the N scale main line is about 1100 feet (335 m) (33 scale miles of main line).

I've been away since November 18 and haven't done any modeling since then. Stay cool and run steam....
Thanks! I used a wash made from Folk Art Charcoal Gray and blue wind sheild washer fluid. I then airbrushed along the bottom with Folk Art Charcoal Gray, and Folk Art Raw Sienna. The trucks where painted and dry brushed and then airbrushed when I did the body. I wrote a series of articles for an online magazine that explains how I weathered a hopper car but the same principals apply. I hope no body minds me posting the links: http://www.railroadforum.com/magazine/issue003/contents.html http://www.railroadforum.com/magazine/issue004/contents.html http://www.railroadforum.com/magazine/contents.html
