Fall Update

FOS Scale Models crates I had ordered this fall. I have built some earlier this year and they turn out really nice. Now I have more to add interest to my scenes.

I have not been doing any narrow gauge modeling over the summer but a few projects are in the works for this winter. One is a waterfront diorama which will feature some HOn30" trackage. A second project is an wayside tool car for my On30" module. I originally was going to use a standard old O scale boxcar. But it looks way to big for the module. I found a part built narrow gauge stock car that will work a lot better. It is going to be really beaten up and heavily weathered. Looking forward to getting started at this shortly. I have a good amount of water views from around Portland, Maine that will help as inspiration that I plan to post also....so I hope you follow along over the winter months...George Dutka

My O narrow gauge stock car that will become a storage shed on blocks for my next On30" module. It will get a good weathering job. An article on building a Maine 2 foot stock car was in RMC a number of years ago built by Trevor Marshall.

This is a module built by Dave Frary at an early model railroad Expo. I hope to begin building a water scene similar to this during the winter months.
