A short video of the animated watertower on Spiderfield, my scenic'd Timevaver layout. Here you can see how I build the watertower.

The grain elevator is almost finished. All it needs are some windows and a place on the layout.

Just some pictures of the progress of my scratch build grain elevator.

There are several professional streetlights on the market. Although some of them are reasonably priced, making it your self gives a lot more satisfaction.

Here is how I make them:

To make a simple streetlight we need the following parts:

- Brass tube (1 -1.5mm diameter, 2 – 3″ long)

- 3mm led

- Washer with 3mm hole

- Piece of wire

- Resistor

- Centerpoint and hammer

- Solder iron

- Pair of pliers

I'm making some progress in building a scratch build grain elevator. Here are some pictures. It's still a work in progress... More about the grain elevator on my website.

I'm trying to find out for my scratch build grain elevator (http://spiderfield.ommering.com/2016/scratch-build-a-grain-elevator-part-2)

In the august 2013 number of Modelrailroad Magazine there was a description of scratchbuilding a branchline watertank from stripwood. It seemed to be a perfect fit for my scenic’d timesaver layout. I made a short description of building the watertank.
