Large Scale Central

Another expansion thread?

That counts! Pretty soon I have to shift focus from the RR to getting the RV ready for Massa-ma-chew-sets. Marilyn is reconsidering coming. I think she’s anxious to get camping again.

Looks like an oil pipeline behind the warehouse!

Dont you hate that. You take a picture and later find out there is something in the background that does not belong. LOL Happens to me all the time. It shows you are actually working.

I wouldn’t have if you didn’t say something, then I noticed the “C”. I don’t think that was ever out of the box here. Did you modify the bed? Looks good!

Yea, I took the oil drums out and replaced them with a wooden floor. Made a logo with that waterproof vinyl. took about 15 minutes. Truck appears a bit small, but if I move it too the other side of the building maybe it won’t be a noticeable. Here’s back side (or front side depending on where you stand.)

Replaced the warped roof on the porch…used a piece of Lexan, which I should have used in the first place.

Looks good Ken, seems that roof wasn’t too bad :slight_smile:

Looks darn good Ken…good luck with that lexan in direct sun.

The Mercantile and Depot both look great.
I guess you caught a break from the rain.

Ken, the improvements/additions to the railroad look fantastic… :slight_smile:

It’s looking great. I’m adding a porch to a general store I bought and I like the idea of using Lexan which I have some of – somewhere!

Bergs Woodworking is now open for business.

I built this building about 15 years ago for the old layout and never could figure out where to put it. Since I had to replace the Jap Maple I moved it back a few feet and made some room for this.

It should make switching in Hesperus a bit more interesting…:wink:

Are those black things the buildings set on stable mats?

That’s rolled roofing with a black grit on it. They had black and white at Lowe’s. I’m trying that out to keep all the splash off the buildings. And it looks like a paved road…:wink:

I always said one day there would be a building with my name on it :smiley: It’s not 100 stories tall like I envisioned as a child, but a mighty fine building none the less :wink: Ralph

Nice work there Ken.Hesperus is looking good with all the industry. :slight_smile:

The Jap maple seems too be looking ok!
Nice work!
:wink:

Your layout is looking great. I love the color of all the buildings. They all blend in nicely.

Place looks really good Ken.

Ken; I don’t comment often, but I just have to say…you do nice work. Your pike is becoming one of the great looking pikes, that we all can learn from. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
