D8 Bulldozer

I'm in the midst of tearing down my layout, but not yet the quarry; I just had to take a few more shots to show off what I treated myself to - my new dozer. I can't wait to weather and detail it.

It's an Ajin made out of pewter.

Starting over - new city, new life. Hopefully will start designing/building new layout in the new year.

I'm going to build a branchline in the boonies. The real challenge will be to have it look like two different eras so I can run trains of 1956 and 1974. The structures shouldn't be a problem since the area I will be modelling didn't look much different in 56 and 74, but details will be a challenge; probably will make them removable. I will have a staging area for trains of both eras and will run the want I want according to my mood.

Thanks Syl.

I just finished taking out two section that I will be saving. I built temporary wood braces over them to protect them for the move and while in storage.

I miss my locos already.

Cheers.

Something for me to do before planning the next layout, but I'm going to have to research some prototypical photos of it.
