There have been many ways to Simulate rust on models, perhaps the best I have found to date (IMHO) is the use of “Patina Rust” this is a two bottle mix, you paint on from one bottle where you would like the rust to be, wait until the next day and use the second bottle and paint over those parts...

Using a backscene of a sunset, I used my 0n30 locos and placed them in front. Hope you like it, Shamus

Well here's something I scratchbuilt last week, it started out as going to be just a Class A climax (Very small one) but ended up with a crane on the rear. The motor for this is a Spud (Tenshodo) and I wired the front tracks so all wheels powered it. Shamus

Hi Folks, apart from my 0n30 Cooncreek & Tumbleweed Springs, I am in the process of making a 6'x3' N-scale logging layout. This has four levels with a few switchbacks as well. Here's the plan and a photo of how far along I am. This is the trestle bridge going up to the top level...

Well, it took me quite a while to re-do the trackplan to its new form and make it clickable on the arrows. Just click on the trackplan below which takes to to a larger version, to see any of the photographs, just move the mouse over the arrow where it will change to a hand. click on the photo...

Yep, for the first time ever, it snowed on the Cooncreek & Tumbleweed Springs so Santa dropped in early to cheer up all the loggers. Even a snowman been built. Shamus

Well, my Bachmann 0n30 climax arrived this morning and here are my findings. It is a beautiful looking loco. 1 – On flat straight and level track, it is perfect and runs like a dream. 2 – On some 20” radius curves it tends to have a very slight rock. 3 - Climbing grades, no problem and still...

Rusty Rooster Well folks, this little beauty was a kit from BVM and called "Tin Chicken", but after I had hacked it around cut things off here and added things there, it is now a Rusy Rooster LOL Shamus

Here's are a few of my scratchbuilt locos for 0n30, all chassis's except the three Porters are from H0 locos. Shamus

The Dunkirk behind in the first photo and to the right on the second photo was a kit from BVM, the other is a total scratchbuild using the big brother as a guide. Still have the steps to put in and add a figure yet plus a few chains here and there. Shamus

Here a shot of my skeleton logcars on route to the logging area. Shamus

I love creating Mini scenes, there are many on my layout which were built at a table an inserted into the layout later. Here's just a couple of them. #1 is a woodlands scenics kit I made up whilst in H0 and later fitted it into my old Badger Creek layout. #2 is from my latest 0n30...

Well, the de-barker is nearly complete all that remains to be done is to make the walkways for the workers to do their job. The first photo shows an overall view of the unit and how logs are brought up from the log pond (When I get that done). Photo #2 is the log lift out of the pond...

Over the last few months, I have altered a hugh part of my Cooncreek & Tumbleweed Springs 0n30 layout, here are a few photo's from the new area. Shamus
