Hunterline 50 ft. Queen Post Bridge

Peter Mumby`s completed bridge is on the right and mine to the left. Once we added the wire rods and plates with adjustment nuts some Bragdon powders are used adding a rust and dust look.

WOD Make and Take Workshop

Earlier this month Don Janes, Peter Mumby and I attended the WOD (NMRA sub.) Make and Take workshop in Ingersoll, Ont. There is more coverage in my WRD blog posted earlier this month. We spent the day building a 50' Queen Post bridge supplied by Hunterline. Peter and I built the S scale version for use on our On30" modules. The 16' wide versions is just right for our trains. We got 90% of the bridge built during the workshop. Yesterday we finally got around to finishing our models. Peter is thinking of crossing a river and I am looking at a road crossing similar to one on the Maine Two Footers....George Dutka

The inspiration for my model`s setting is these two location found in M2FQ. I plan to build a roadway under mine. My bridge in this photo is about 90% finished.

Desktop Scene

Just out of storage my HOn30 turntable scene is ready for another modelers season. One of these days I may put all my small scenes together into a larger module.

Here is my little HOn30 turntable scene that normally sits next to my hobby work station. It normally rests on a swivel base so I can swing it around when I take a break from my current projects. I have done a post featuring this little scene in the past...George Dutka

Hinkle's scene finished

My little Bar Mills kit is now in place on my On30" module. It really fit in well in the foreground.

I finally got around to finishing the scenery on my Hinkle's general store scene. The photos tell the story...George Dutka

There are a lot of weeds and rubbish around Hinkle's general store.

Swinging Old No. 9 Around

The boys have finished swinging old No. 9 around...think they will be heading out of town shortly.

I was taking a few photos of my On30 module the other day...mainly of my new loading ramp...thought this one at the turntable turned out really nice also...enjoy....George Dutka
