Same problem with mine.

Not sure what you mean about the end mills.

The company I work for makes end mills. That's all.

A bit more settled now and doing some modeling!!!!

Starting with the bridge, I modified the Chooch abutments to suit the bridge. This involved removing two courses of stones from between the top and the next level down. These were clearly designed for a larger bridge. Its fine though, easier to make shorter than to expand. The bridge still isn't glued in yet, I want to do some scenery on the river bellow before its too late.



Just because its not fully installed doesn't mean I can't pose equipment on it.



I've also started to plan out the Main Street section. As trains exit the bridge they cross Mill Street and then parallel Main. Here we see the bookstore at the corner of Main & Mill streets, looking along Mill Street towards the proverbial mill.



Looking the other way up Mill Street along the river bank. I need to get a tripod and figure out focus stacking...


I'm looking forward to this scene, where four tracks cross Mill Street and the traffic backs up as the local does its work.

Riverwork continues. Slow but steady progress is being made, and most importantly of all, I'm enjoying it.

What company do you work for? I'm a machinist by trade. New endmills good!

Emuge Franken. You probably know our taps. US production of inch end mills is a relatively new but rapidly growing part of the business.

Yes, I know the taps. I'll keep a lookout for the EM's

There's a big addition to the catalog coming soon, January I think. More lengths of the 5 and 6 flute tools plus a full range of 7 flutes. 1/4" to 1" all made in the USA.

The other smaller bridge has been a conundrum. Its right on the diverging end of a curved turnout, so its tight at one end and wide at the other. In the end I followed the B&M's standard plans for a double track trestle. Not quite finished yet, but the main structure is done.

I now have rail served industries! What a concept! There is rail to both the main mill and the fuel dealer. Its not yet wired, but the track is in place finally. I built the coal trestle a while ago, but decided it was too tall. This looks right for the small town vibe I'm going for. The hopper is not right, it should only be a two bay I think. But its been kicking around the workbench for a while so it works for the pictures. There is a spot for a tank car where the SW1 currently is positioned. Once the lightweight spackle is dry and painted I have some oil tanks to install.
