Whats on the Bench

[keystonecrossings]

Still working on my Sherman's Creek bridge...



The stream bed is done and water poured (photo is old). Now I have to weather the rails, build and install PRR pipe fence, ballast, ground turf, and install the module into the layout.

Next up...
* Painting 15 Pecos River Brass heavyweight Pullmans
* Build and painting two dozen Hell Gate Models PRR B60b baggage cars
* Finally bashing 11 InterMountain F3 shells and painting them to be correct for PRR
* Building N Scale Architects' MG and HARRIS towers... and by then AR tower should be out as well

That's about enough of a queue for now!

Operating photo diorama type setup that has to be finished by the Friday before Mother's Day.  Since all the buildings have to be scratchbuilt, I had better get to work.

Got 10 Brass cars that need decaling (at least I got the couplers body mounted) and glass installed.  Got to strip a LL SW-1200 and repaint, Fix a few diaphrams on some Union Station cars which came loose and finish up a couple models of Quonset huts I just got.

I don't really have a workbench area right now (when I move again this summer I hope to set up a little space somewhere), but does my storage shelf count?

[cv_acr]

Also eagerly awaiting the new Walthers bulkhead flatcars which should be out in a few weeks. They have photos up on their website now, and already announced the second run.

Most of these won't require any work other than probably weight adding, so they won't spend long on the workbench before going into a big box with my other ready to run cars.

I'm over half-way through the artwork design for a single track version of the 163ft (12.25in) 6-Panel Pratt pin-connected bridge. I started the artwork Sun PM. I made great progress, but I don't think I can keep this pace on the project. Planned release is in June.

Got any plans to do a Bollman bridge?  All those little steamers coming out could open up a market for a 19th century bridge design...

Well that's going to hurt my wallet. Now if you ever do one of these http://www.alaskarails.org/route-map/hurricanegulch.html it would break me completely!
