Hightline - Part 2

Built the base from foam board, and glued the siding on.



Test fit on the loading house before gluing.



Setting on the layout.


Building the other side of the load house under the highline. A conveyor belt will be coming out from under the load house and up and over the ore ship channel.


Spacer Car - Part 1

Space car started out as a Playart. The other parts were used for the transfer cab I did. Just removed the cab body and add a couple pieces of styrene to fill in gaps and to build the handrails. I have no ideal where I came up with the weight. I found it in the parts box.

Heavy Duty Flat - Part 1

Here is a heavy duty flat I did. Started with a scrap Athearn 200 ton crane. Sanded off the details on the car body. The load it a weight from a Piko BR52 tender.

Transfer Cab - Part 2

Painted the Transfer cab. Just got to decal it and paint the handrails yellow and a few more little details to it.
