Weekend Update 5/1/16

More detail added to my bridge I'm scratchbuilding I added the last web members and gussets, next is end floor beams, pedastals, and then rivet detail over lays then painting ect. Going to cast abutments with hydrocol. I'm possibly going to hand lay track on this module then will come more scenery such as ballast, static grass and of course lots of trees. Oh yeah and one more bridge a deck plate span to complete the bridges. These bridges are abandoned in the era I model so no track on them.

That bridge is really fantastic.

Got my undec Atlas S2 painted up for service on the Milwaukee Road. What a great little engine. I did however, change the speaker as suggested by John Colombo and it was a noticeable improvement.

Very nice Bill!  Love the weathering and number boards.

Sheesh @skytop35 you almost make me want to model the Milwaukee Road in  the '60s.

Love those shades Bill!! But did notice you might want to run a #11 blade down the door seems to settle in the decals.

That's Jim Starbuck's work.

No nose bell?  Wasn't that an S2 thing?

Had a chance to test my new M1a's this morning.  Very impressive in all aspects.  Will pull 35 forty foot cars up my very slight grade.  Now to weather them, add coal to the bunker, and get some 903's in the pilots.  They look great next to my K4 and L1.

Given past performance, I think there is at least one manufacturer willing to paint an N scale model that thing in Warbonnet and sell it for $169.95.

Hmmm, I wonder who that might be.

Yes it was. However until I acquire a casting and get the nerve to drill into that metal shell this will have to do

Thanks. It's the smallest "sugar cube" speaker.
