The Gravel Pit

Making some scenery in the gravel pit. Built a storage bin from scratch and ballasted the track.

B Fasth Warehouse 2...

... is the name on building adjacent to the teamtrack.

I´ll guess that the contractor´s name was Potemkin... Front and back together

A new picture with the name on the building.

More Piles...

... for the scrapyard. Both small and bigger made of Sculptamold.

The big with a core of wood and backside of Styren to fit the edge of the module.

With som paint it looks like this. Still missing a lot of small pieces of scrap...

 

(Update) 

A picture of the background "photopile" that will be used on module meetings.

Piles of Junk...

... in the corner of the scrap yard. Some railroad wheels and other parts from freightcar boggies. Painted with brown primer and rust, black and yellow wheathering powder.

Kowal Mfg...

... are an new industry on the home layout. A big manufacturer of Barbed wire sending it westward by train. I'm using a Walthers "Allied Rail Rebuilder" and a Faller "Gantry Crane". There will also be propane unloading equipment and a storage tank on the other side of the track at the "old facility"

A rerouted coaltrain...

...passes through Crawford Junction.

A small test run after changing to MTL-boggies and Weighting. The most of the coal hoppers are far to light (10-12g instead of 25-30g pro NMRA). Still some work with weathering the cars inside and out...

SwitchControl

To make it some easier for an operator at Crawford Valley the switches at the entries will get powered, and all that lays in main will have its position shown.
