Great to see young artists at work!

That’s awesome, Steve! Love it!
Way to go Steve
I’m making a boiler house from a modified MTH trains water supply building. I removed the pitched roof in favor of a flat version. The smoke stack and roof vents are from Altoona. I still have some weathering to do and add details like a coal chute, water supply, and a smoke vent to the smoke stack.
Very nice scenes Pete.
This photo shows the southwest corner of my 12’-by-8’ layout with an Atlas O USRA 0-6-0 steam engine model of CNJ #107 on the O-72 outer loop. The building at left was built from the “Yard Office” laser kit by American models. The brick building directly behind the locomotive is from an Ameritowne plastic kit. The building at far right is also from a kit but manufacturer unknown. Although I sometimes build from scratch, I prefer to build kits because I don’t enjoy searching for and ordering parts from which to build a model – although I often substitute parts that I have on hand for those supplied in kits – most often roof shingles, chimneys and brick foundations.

Sirt,
The concentration level looks to be very intense!

Arc,
This is looking fantastic. Can you share how you do your rock work?

Very nice modification of this building, looks completely different!

Alan, a workshop that clean and organized is a sure sign of a troubled mind. Does Better Homes and Gardens know about this?
About 2 weeks ago, I bought at A C Moore an aerosol spray can of Elmer's Craft Bond, not knowing what I would specifically use it for.
Many of you experiened modelers may already know what I'm about to say. This is a great product for making O Scale trees. I had some trees that were becoming a bit threadbare, probably losing some of their flocking from being jostled. Just spray on the glue, which dries clear, on the bare spots, sprinkle on the flocking, and then spray on a final light coat of glue. I believe Elmer's Craft Bond is stronger than typical diluted white glue applied with a spray bottle. It took many hand washings for me to get the excess Elmer's product off that stuck to my fingers. LOL.
Here are some photos of my improved green trees in Spring and Summer seasons:
The next 2 pictures show are before and after shots of the same homemade trees:

After, showing the same trees in a different position with new green flocking attached with Elmer's Craft Bond:
It was great fun and very satisfying bbndoing this scenery work. Arnold
Nice job Arnold, the results speak for themselves.

Pete, I really like the modeling you do. As for the tanks, where did you find these? I like the size and detail of them (I suppose if you got them a long time ago they might not be available anymore). I would like to see if I can get a few like them. As for your boat repair barn, that is a great model.
