Weekend Projects

My son was working on some tank models on my workbench this weekend, so I brought out some projects that I've had on the back-burner for a while. That way we could share some model building time.

Here is a new hopper for the Arroyo Tram. It started out as a old HO Roundhouse Sand and Gravel Car. I saw something similar but a little different on a website years ago, I thought I would give it a go.





Then I put a Wisemann Model Serivces (V&T Shops) donkey engine kit together. A quick but delicate build.

Grand Central Gold Mining, On30 Action

April is almost over and I haven't posted! Lots of projects ongoing but few finished. I did get my Grand Central Gold Mine interior completed enough to share. The interior is a kit by Wiseman Model Services and includes all the equipment. I've added a few details. I would like to add some figures and interior lighting. Outside needs two rail sections, one to load cars and the other to a small tailing pile.




I also finished ballasting the Arroyo Extension and added a little scenery. Hoping to get the rails cleaned up and running again soon.
