Managed some test prints this weekend - the grain auger will end up on the Aberdeen ..  the "office" container is a test project .. both HO and N .. I'm really starting to like the HO possibilities the printer gives me .

I want that auger!!!!! how much to do one for a brother?

I'm shocked there are no readily available job office trailers out there, at least in N scale that I know of.  I've suggested them to DigCom Designs and he hinted at them being in the works but haven't seen anything yet from them.  I need 2 for Center St yard in Hanover.  Which someone just posted the other day they have removed the larger of the 2 there and brought in a new one apparently.

So, I love a good challenge .. Using the files from Kris Brumble https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3776225/files

I created some modular panels that will allow the creation of just about any configuration of office trailer .. this is a 12x60 loosely based on prototypes I found on line








Will try to print it this week ..

My wife and I got hit hard by Covid for the last couple of weeks, but we are recovering. I couldn't do much, but was able to do some more pavement for the Bleachery and EPI, in New Milford. Added some storage buildings for HH Taylor & Son, along with some grass, weeds and some details, like the jersey barriers along EPI's lot and flowering bushes in front of the Heritage Hotel. 

There are more photos in my layout thread: https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=54066.msg751240#msg751240

Oh that type of office trailer looks VERY familiar

Finally I get to post some progress again.  The raised bed herb garden/staging yard/reverse loop is all built, and the plants are planted!  It has taken so long to get here, but finishing filling this garden in has completely changed my outlook on the project.  Now it feels like I’m down to details, and I have an actual model railroad now, not just loose track and gravel in the side yard.

The three tracks close together are the staging yard.  The two further apart will be a locomotive shop building that I may put together over the winter.

I’m working to grade the tracks to remove a nasty low spot on a long fill, then wiring can resume.  I got some cement mix to start lightly sticking the gravel in place, by shaking some mix on and misting it with the hose.  Here’s hoping it works.
