Have Module will Travel

Well I am coming down the home stretch with my new module - not much left to do except adding some details and completing one small track side building. I must say that it was a good experience , and the only disappointing issue is that unfortunately, I will be unable to get to the first show of the season next month (family commitment). I am looking forward to taking it on the road and to having it incorporated into a UMG http://theumg.wordpress.com/ set-up. Have a look at this posts pic - it is one of the two small industries on the layout ( more details to be added - eg chain link fence ,etc). Till next time...

New Structure

Hi Folks;

Well progress continues on the modules, and they should be ready for the upcoming shows this fall. My module will have a couple of industry sidings on it and at first, I wasn't sure exactly what they would be. After several hours of thumbing through the Walthers catalogue, I decided on a what I think will be a couple of interesting industries. One that I have spent the last couple of weeks building ( on and off of course - as it isn't a difficult kit) was the Sunrise Feed mill. I built it as per kit instructions. Once it was complete, I weathered it with Bragdon weathering powders and a light coat of thinned Pollyscale Earth paint. My preference is always to lightly do the weathering rather than over do it. I have also built a Rix grain bin to go along with it. Once I have it in place on the layout, it will be connected to the feed mill by piping. Have a look at this post picture of the feed mill. It is temporarily in place on a siding on the Nottingham Sub. Till next time....
