Good Morning Everyone,
I will start out with some pictures of a methane gas holder model I am building. In one of the pictures you will see some concrete blocks I had forum.member Myles Marcovich make for me with his 3d printer. They came out great and I could not have produced these at this level of accuracy myself. The concrete blocks act as a ballast weight on the roof deck. Let's see what you have been working on.

Alan, amazing level of detail on that tank...wow!
I made a little progress on the diorama this week. Applied the “rock” walls on the unloading ramp. I used HO scale “Sea Wall” from Chooch. It translates pretty well to O-scale...
I capped the walls with O-scale wood railroad ties. Haven’t decided yet what the surface of the dock will be. Maybe concrete...or maybe just rock and dirt fill. I saw both growing up in NE PA...
Waiting for the glue to dry...
made a little progress on the cement plant. started outside building and working on a couple smoke stacks for it.
Nice work everyone
Fishing season is open!
Cement plant Looks great stubbygda. First time I’ve seen someone modeling a pre 1950s Portland cement plant. Much easier to do without selective compression as you probably know, the rotary kiln lengths doubled/tripled in the 1950-60s era.
thanks J Musser. i am still amazed by the scale of these things. i managed close to 200 scale feet on the kilns. i sorta combined 30s to 50s. the kilns definitely early ones, smaller, riveted sections and cooling pipes. the building and power setup is later. much of the reference information is from uk so even have some british touch in there lol.
Al finally got my signal bridges you made for me installed and lit thanks again
Alan, another incredible model.
Artie it looks like quite a few people were chomping at the bit for opening day.
Coach Joe, that’s art imitating real life, believe me!
