Sunday Scenic Showcase July 16, 2023

Slow progress on Hap Hazard Packing Company.

Foundation building and interior bracing was done earlier this week and over 4 hours this past Friday was spent putting the hinges on the windows and doors.....they are very delicate (and small)......

I plan to raise the 1st floor this week.....

Terrific AG traffic Tower this morning Alan.  
I have posted this once already this week but I’m pretty tickled with the success that I had with these four MTH crossings flashers with sound.  We are leaving soon headed to the Grandson’s 10th birthday celebration located this time at the ice arena in Charleston.  Hopefully the permanent crossing streets will come soon.  Have a great Sunday guys…

Alan, that roof must have been some job?

Everyone thinks tanks are Alan’s specialty but he’s really the greatest guru of the roof tops.  I know this first hand😉.

Another great project in place Peter.

That’s right Seth, the domes on the brick furnaces. The signals look good.

Coach, the roof on that tower drove me crazy and I still was not able to get it quite right.

Peter,

Your work and photography of the process has been great. Everything you have done so far using various types of kits has been great. It looks like you are really enjoying the building process.

I really do!

It has pushed me to learn how to do things that I would have previously been afraid of.....

My layout had an empty space beneath a deck girder bridge on my upper Milwaukee Road branch line.  The local community is always looking for new businesses to add to the tax roles and was able to convince the Far East Import company to locate there. 

I had an old Lionel Quonset hut looking for a new home and some fencing that gave them some security.  I need to add a "junk yard dog" and a little more landscaping and they will be all set.

Making some progress slowly cutting in all the streets now that track work is operational.  I have lots of stand ins mocked up with cardboard for structures that have to be custom built to fit the trackage...

Future structures - I have plenty of build projects to last me some years. Because the tracks are so tight and I am trying to achieve a certain look, I am trying to block out buildings and streets first before I commit to building something that might not fit later.
