Great stuff again, everyone, you never fail to impress. Lee, the classic Pacific and that Bachmann E-60 warm my heart! I have both of those downstairs, but nowhere to run them right now.
I got some useful modeling done this week! It’s been a week of working on structures, in pursuit of wiring the outdoor railroad for DCC. By keeping auto-reverse modules outside, I greatly reduce the amount of wire I need to run, so I need two sheltered spaces to start. Might as well make them look like they belong!
This really isn’t much. Just a little JTT and Evergreen styrene, plus coats from 4 rattle cans.
The “foundation” is an outlet box, sealed up with hot glue, and with two clamped openings juuuust big enough for the old garden hose I’m using as conduit.
Ready for wiring!
I didn’t follow any prototype for the corrugated steel signal shed. The next will be a small yard tower, essentially a compressed version of New York Central’s tower in Geneva, NY. I’m saving that for a rainy day. I also need to put a roof on this model of the Gaines, PA old train station in it’s worn down, blanked-out-windows 1970s look. More of the story, and the steps I took to weather the steel shed,
in the Layout Engineering thread.
