Weekend Update 2/6/22

I did the decaling on my HOn3 D&RGW Jordan Spreader OU this week...
Erik

OK, I'm calling BS on @Erik W's so-called "n scale" spreader.  It's really O scale!  Only thing I can't figure out is where he got the cutting mat with the 2" grid.

Absolutely fantastic!

Milled a later model Bachmann F9 frame to take a new motor. The motors brush caps are isolated from the frame ready for a decoder. Please excuse the blurry shot - still getting used to my new phone.

What motor are you using?

Working on a few items during this past week.

Blending in the new backdrop with the old at the north end of Chetwynd Yard:




Repairing the east end of the backdrop in Dawson Creek:




Preparing a control panel for the new Imperial Oil spur at Chetwynd:




And building a cardboard mock-up for the other half of the Scott National food warehouse at Dawson Creek.  I originally modelled half of the building against the end backdrop; the forthcoming extension will enable me to model the entire structure.  Here are the combined mock-ups:

MegaBlackJoe:  Good looking turnout, and nice, neat soldering as well.

I've built several Nn3 turnouts, the only difference is the tie spacing, and it took some practice to get them looking that good.

Tim,

Are you going to need any reefers for that Scott National food warehouse?

Making progress on the RBB&B stock cars. Stepping sanded out of the roofs and all grab irons added.

Nice job all of them, especially the elephant car.

Nice job all of them, especially the elephant car. 

Construction is finished except for the roofwalks, which I am going to fashion from Evergreen styrene. Hopefully from one of the slatted car-side sheets and not individual strips.

Hi Lee, it's a 3 pole skew wound Mabuchi almost identical to what is in a Bachmann White Box 4-8-4 Northern, It's quiet and no ozone smell like the Bachmanns, better response all for $2.26 NZD + a couple of bucks postage from Aliexpress in China.

Busy weekend.  Timonium on Sat.  Was worth the drive especially the visit to Chaps. 
Decided to move the rolling mill.  Still needs some work.

Looks good! Love the imbedded rails!

Such a tease!

Made some progress this weekend on my Reading GP7 (need to start a Detailing/Scratchbuilding thread); wrestled with some tiny rain gutters:



Got everything primed:



And found some places that need filler (where I removed extra fuel tank hose fittings):
