Corrugated Grain Silos

Thu, 2016-06-02 15:27 — Peter Pfotenhauer

Anyone have info on the size of the corrugations on those metal grain silos that are found on farms or along larger grain elevators as overflow or addition storage facilities?

I'm wondering the actual size of the indentations and the spacing between peaks. 

I have an idea for how to replicate it in N scale using old center pieces from rolls of scotch tape, but need size info for the prototype to determine what size modeling material I need.

Hi all!
I need help identifying this HOn3 model:

I got it as is with a broken gearbox which is now being replaced with a new from NWSL.
What prototype does it have? And who made the model?
I'm going to repaint and decal it, so it would be nice to get it right.... :)

Whats on your workbench May edition

Wed, 2016-05-04 08:01 — Alco_nut

I did not see one for May so I thought I would start one.

Almost complete on the Fine Scale Miniatures Engine House. I installed LED lighting inside and added some additional machinery and the electrical conduits and panel. I just have to install the roof and doors and it will be ready to install it in the Port Jervis yard.

Narrow-gauge O scale

Mon, 2016-05-02 17:58 — npo

I primarily model American N scale but I'm considering taking a leap into narrow-gauge O-scale as a sideline, since I've seen some pretty amazing layouts the last few years.

Are you interested about Europe???

Hi guys

I'd like to know what do you think about European Model railroad ?

Have you got some interest about it ?

Do you like it or not ?  And why ?

Thanks a lot...
