Bachman Forney


I took these photos back in 2011 after I completed the lettering and weathering of my Forney. I know the Forney has shown up in past posts but not sure if you saw these on the workbench shortly after the work was completed...George Dutka

Strong Station - O Scale

 

I have showed you this station before but I was taking a look at it again. The base is two sheets of Gatorfoam which is really securely attached to the floor of the station. I am thinking it may have to stay that way. I purchased the station the way it looks here and will be update a bit shortly...George Dutka

Hunterline Stains

From time to time I come across Hunterline at train shows. This one they attended was I think taking place in Paris, Ont. I thought I would take a photo of their stain display for future reference. I really like their product and use it a lot...thought you might want to see what they offer...George Dutka.

Bar Mills New Offering


Bar Mills has a new offering out this week. A REA express building in O scale. When I checked their website it is also offered in HO scale. I think this might be a great addition to my On30" modeling. If you order it directly from them they are throwing in Woodland Scenic figures package free as a bonus...George Dutka

SR&RL HOn30" Boxcar

This kit was my entrance into the world of HOn30"

I found these views in my files that I took of my first build in HOn30". I had ordered the car by mail sometime in the early 1980's. I got back into model railroading in December 1979 following the MR cover article of the C&DR Ry. Hard to believe that I entered modeling in a scale that one has to scratch-build or kit build. I think the car turned out well considering the era. About a year later I ordered Sloan brass etchings building a Forney. Not long after I did get into HO scale standard gauge joining a local modular railroad club....George Dutka

O Scale Moose

A view on my one foot wide diorama attached to my module. The moose that kind of makes the scene is a 3D printed model I picked up at the National Narrow Gauge Convention in Maine a few years back. It was an offering Gary of PLW.
