Under Construction

These two buildings are my "winter project".

The shed to the left is a freight shed. Left to do:.. another coat of paint, weathering, then final "details".

The shed to the right is advertised as a "hand car shed". In myopinion, it's to large for that use.
Left to do: final assembly, painting, weathering and finally, detailing.

At least one of these sheds will wind up at the Schuykill Lumber Mill. The other?....I'm thinking about it.

Both kits are basswood. They required tedious cutting, but the final result was worthwhile.

G Scale Breakdown

 

This is the underside of my g scale 2-4-2 steamer. Yesterday, while running (fine) for my grandkids it

started acting up. It sounded like a tranny slip in a car might. Anyway, I opened it up today, and while it's not a complicated setup, I was unable to find the cause of the slippage noise. So for now, we're dead in the water. Jake had no interest in the train anyway, and Ryan was right behind him. I suspect when they come next time, neither one will have enough interest to warrant setting up the trains in the first place!.
