Layout Expansion in progress 9-24-23 new factory added

Great progress Rich. Thanks for the update!!

Looks great Rich, I really like the color you used for the grain silos.

Thanks guys for the nice comments.

 

The color on the silo is rustolium camouflage khaki with a lite over spray of camo flat black to give a dirtier look.

Very nice.

Hi Rich. I love that stone block you have used quite extensively. Is that the same material found at Home depot in the kitchen section.

Yes Jim, this one was at lowes, a 12 by 12 sheet, no grout lines. On the part near the silo I used a India ink wash. I will do that the rest. It turned out to be less costly than the foam walls from scenic express and was real stone.

Rich,

 

Looks good!  I bet you have some time in that retaining wall!

 

Dave

Rich....everything is coming along beautifully!

Thanks Guys for the nice comments.

 

Dave, It actually goes together pretty quick since you start with 12" x 12" sheets.  I used some construction adhesive to hold it to the walls.

 

I used a larger brush with the India ink wash to weather the walls.

I got around to adding the scene near the company house areas.  I have a bit more work to do, but thought this would be a good place for a road side stand. 

 

 

Hi Rich,

 

Fabulous scene, very well done. Lots of nice details, like the scale,and the truck.

 

 

Thanks,

Alex

 

 

Rich very nice. Thanks for sharing with us.

Nice work Rich. 

Great craftsmanship.

Hi Rich.

Your photos make everything look so realistic. Great job.

Great, very cool.  Thanks again for the evolution of your layout and great posts!

Very cool...I love the details.

Hi Guys,

 

I had a chance to place the updated Korber Sand house and tower on the layout today.  The kit can be built with the new tower next to the sand drying house, or away from it.

 

 

This kit has been sitting on my bench half finished for some time, and I decided to push through and complete it.

 

This is a small town oil company.

 

 

Rich the addition of the sand drying house and sand box(cats will love it) looks very good. The Bill's Oil Company looks awesome. You have two excelent new products.

Here is another addition to the layout, SAP Bandage Company named for my wife's mom (Bills was for her dad, a former Southern Pacific guy in Oregon)

 

This is named SAP Bandage Company, but this is a Korber Kit, number 911 Perfect Tool.  I needed to build one up for better photos, and it fit int he space I had nicely.

 

 

 

 

I Installed some lights in side but didn't have it turned on for this shot.

 

 

Looking good Rich!

While I have been posting some progress on new models, I have not posted much lately about my layout.

 

I have a "mountain" with a small amusement park on the top that has several main lines pass behind it that needed a view block of sorts.

 

I was not sure of the best way, but on my last visit to Bill Bramlage's layout I finally had the idea of using some industrial buildings.

 

Here are some structures I put together that create some adjoining factories.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have not really decided on the name of all of it yet, and I intend to add something behind and above it for a more complete block, but I think we are off t a good start.

 

As always suggestions and comments are welcome.

 

Looks really nice Rich!!!

 

Alan

Hi Rich,

 

Looking great

 

Alex

I just reread this entire post and must say that this is an absolutely beautiful layout. Your craftsmanship is superb. The photos are amazing. I am just wowed.

Rich, this is the first time I have seen this thread. Your layout looks fantastic.  Really nice details on the structures.  I will have to keep following this post.

 

Thanks for sharing your layout with us all.

Well done, Rich!

 

Peter

Thanks Guys,

 

Progress comes in bursts.

Hi Rich!

 

Nice to see your posts again.

"Here are some structures I put together. . ."

 

What structures are those? They look very nice.

 

Alex

 

Thanks Alex!

 

The left most is a kitbash I did with parts from the Korber 315 Grain Silo put together, and some other material at the base.

 

The center building is using parts of corrugated material, on a foam core base.

 

The building to the right is something new we are working on that would provide a modular flexibility to make industrial structures of various sizes.  This one is cement, but it can also be cement and brick.

Let me know if this helps, or I can answer mote questions.

Well, I finally took some photos of two new additions to the layout.  These structures work together, one  one the left is a factory/ office that goes with the cold storage structure on the right.

 

The main line goes under the structure, and we will add a icing platform to the yard in front of it.

 

I have more details to add, but this is a start.

 

 

 

 

She's a brick......house!  Looks good Rich, that's a lot of brick walls!

Very nice.

Rich your layout is amazing!  I noticed you said you shop at Dixie Union Station...are you near Mason?  I live in Columbus but have been to EnterTrainMent Junction a few times and shopped at DUS.

Will 

 

Thanks for the nice comments

 

Still lots of work to do.

 

I live in Milford, and work in Mason.  When I have time I can go to DUS at lunch.

 

Entertrainment Junction is a great place to visit as well.

Coming along nicely Rich!

Looking good, Rich.

Great structure!
