SR&RL No. 21

 

SR&RL No. 21, no other details on the photo. Three boxcars and a combine on this train. First boxcar is 105. I picked this one also at the Springfield train show last winter at one of the Maine two-footer booths. There was a lot of interesting photos to view there.

This comment was posted in a Maine On2 yahoo group that may help one regarding this photos.

The short tender is from Forney No. 9, the longer tender is from No. 18. Number 9's tender wasn't used as a water car or something, this photo was simply taken while scrapping of the locomotives was in progress. Number 9 is in pieces while scrapping is ongoing.

NMRA Division Meet Sarnia

Simon Elbourne is the WOD modeler that built the diorama.

Our NMRA Western Ontario Division gathered in Sarnia for a day of make and take modeling. We had a number of displays with a couple in O scale and a On30" traveling display. Here are a few views of it...George Dutka

Module Reworking

Peter gave me some scrap foam he had in the garage about a year ago that has been cut and attached with carpenters glue.

Took this photo yesterday of Peter Mumby's module with a bit of Styrofoam added to the back for support. Now to add leftover face board to the rear to clean up the look. The jigsaw is used to trim the scene as I go along. A Masonite end cap will be made too...George Dutka

Module Being Reworked

All the details have been removed and a bit of track taken out before being cut to size. The backdrop is removed also and will not be used. The front skirting has been removed and cut to size for reuse.

I spent a bit of time yesterday altering Peter Mumby's module that connects to mine. I want it to be one foot wide (it is 18" at the moment) to fit on my wall. I began by removing all the trees, details and a bit of trackage. I then ran it through my table saw from the top and then the bottom. Areas that it did not cut through my jig saw took care if it. I will shore up the cut area with a strip of Styrofoam shortly. 

The layout will be all modules with most being done with a foam base. More on how it is going shortly. It was an end of the day project and time ran out...George Dutka

About to be cut.

Six inches has been chopped of the module.
