Transfer Car Part 2

This transfer car started out as a Roundhouse Rapid Discharge hopper. I cut the frame in the center to allow for a controlling cab on one end and a motor compartment on the other. Still a few thing to do with it but it is a start.

Car Shops part 1

Detail the car shops. Over head crane added a caged latter and built a work bench from a couple freight car axles.



Locomotive Maintenance Part 4


Still working on the locomotive facility. Decided not to scratch build the Ashpit or the water tower. Instead, I purchased the Plastruct water tank and a Walther ash pit kit.

Portable Transformer car part 1

Had a good friend send me a picture of a portable transformer car. Found it to be pretty neat so I started planning. Here is what I come up with so far.




Locomotive Maintenance Part 3

Here the start of the asp pit and the water tower. I keep putting off the ash pit due to having to cut a small hole in the layout but once that was done it turned out pretty good.
