Castle on a Hill. Micro Mini Lego. 11 by 31 inches. 3-29-24

Started making a Fueling rack for engines this week too. Still need to make an overhead sanding rack w/downspouts. Then will have to buy some small rubber rope to use for hoses at each pump. What do you all think?

I redid all the tops of the service racks this week to make them look like metal tops. I used plastic canvas & it made a 100% different look. Did the ones in the engine shed & the ones outside the shed too.

I didn't know he passed away. When did that happen? I use to talk to him on the phone at least once a month back in the 80's & 90's.

Made engine work stations inside the Engine Shed today. All Lego items & I also added some trim to the front of the roof on the engine shed. There was a 3/8ths opening on the front & about 6" on the sides. I used some wood dowels to fill in that space & glued it all w/E6000 glue. Tomorrow I hope...

This Lego's Build I had to do right on the layout to get everything lined up next to the original Train Shed. Took me about 3 hrs & then I added the 1\16" Peel & Stick foam sheet to the roof panel which I will paint flat black later. The building is 10 by 10 inches & 4 & 1/2" tall. I never glue...

Then I built a 4 pc. Miniature castle out of lego's that I'm going to add to the side of 1 of my mountains. This one took me 3 days to build. These are called Micro Mini Blocks & were very hard for me to hook together w/pains in my hands.

Here it is March already. had the Flu for about 2 weeks & couldn't work on the layout & then I passed out in the bathroom from not eating hardly anything for 2 weeks, so, now I'm back to building Trains & layout stuff again. I finally got the roof almost finished for the Train Shed & now it...

I'm also getting ready to add 2 more tables to the inside of the layout for Yards & then I will move all of my Transformers & sound systems & other stuff to the end of the table thats closest to what I have now. Today I'm going...
