Where my Steam Wheels project is at the current date. It's appx 9ft wide / 3ft high made of wood painted to look like metal. Need to add more ties and short piece of rail and ballast. It also needs a few detailed items to be added to the value gear and it will be done. It runs manually.

Been wondering what happened to this, coming along nicely.

Nice bridges Garry. Thanks everyone for your comments. Yes it does operate by tuning one of the wheels or rods. I bought some small round table tops at Home Depot and used a router to make the wheels and round ends of the rods. It creates a lot of attention when someone visits the house. They usually say and what is this?

The water damage on the concrete pilings is really well done.

And the way the landscape blends with the wall painting so it looks like the horizon really flows into the sky is incredibly well done. It gives you the illusion of real depth

You sure come up with some great pictures Garry. Excellent.

I'm going to post a few before and after pictures today.



This is how the area looks now. Still a lot of work to do.

Can't wait to get back to work on the layout. Hopefull my remodeling will be done for the year in about a month.

Here is an Accurail P-S 4750 hopper that came as a light grey data only car. I adder the MRL decals and weathered it with a light application of oil washes and dry brushing.

Garry, that's a great shot of your outstanding modeling. Just a yard shot from me this week.

If it wasn't for the frog and guard rails in the turnout, that could be a 1:1 scale pic. But then, IS that a real turnout??

Latest project. Every downtown needs one or two gas stations.

THIS is an outstanding shot! Look fast and it DOES fool ya! Then the ties give it away. Plus that Shark is CLEAN! and no 'yards' use flex track!

Nice work everyone!

I'll keep this thread rolling. More work on the peninsula; this time focusing on the lumber camp.

Something I came across the other day and thought this would be the best place to post it.
