    Fructose/Sucrose plant

    Hey guys, I'm building a Fructose and Sucrose production plant for my Midwestern layout. I've used a variety of kits so far. Still a lot to do, but let me know what you think. Excuse the FedEx trailers - They're the only ones I had. I've still got to paint it and add lots of tanks and pipes...

    Kato N Scale Nose Door Windows

    Hi all, Kato's N Scale models of nose units such as C44-9Ws, etc have the nose cab door window simply modelled in the colour of the unit. The window is not plastic or glass, or tinted. The lack of detail here is bugging me. I was wondering if anyone has any techniques for improving the look of...

    N Scale Feed Mill Kitbash

    Hey everyone, I've been detailing one of my favourite "kitbash" projects. Though to be honest, it's less of a kitbash, and more of just combining kits. I used the Sunrise Feed Mill and a grain elevator kit (both Walthers) and painted them to match. I painted them with a brush, using Tamiya...

    Hey everyone. I wanted to share a layout plan that myself and my partner have put together. The layout is set in the early 1950s somewhere in the Midwestern US.

    Hey everyone. So I recently found some photos online of an incredible train, and I thought I would share it. During the 1990s, the railway workshops in the North Queensland city of Townsville were facing closure due to a lack of work. In response, Queensland Rail embarked on a visionary...
