San Dieago Passenger Station in N Scale
To All: Many years ago I built this San Diego Passenger Station for a customer in Japan. He sent me blueprints from 1914, that were 7 feet long, to accurately build it!. It is completely scratch built and I made a special box to ship it in, as even in N Scale it is 4 feet long!
Dept of Agriculture Weighing Car

Grimes Line Update
Finished up most of the scenery between Hickman Road and Millard Lumber on my IAIS Grimes Line layout. This is a heavily wooded area on the prototype and I wanted to best simulate the tree tunnel found along the line.
Best,

Monsanto Company
To All: Monsanto company was a major industry in E. St. Louis in the 1960's. It was a producer of herbicides, animal hormones and agricultural seeds. I scratch built the silos and hopper loader for this industry. I have to add another siding and office building to the site. This industry is located next to the PRR's Rose Lake Yd in Terra Haute, Indiana on the E. St. Louis Rail Group layout.

HO Scale Archbar Trucks w/ Wood Bolsters?
Probably a dumb question, but does anyone manufacture a HO scale arch-bar truck with wood bolsters? (Not HOn3 
)
Car float track dimentions
I want to model a Car float. I've looked, in the wrong places, for track measurements. I need the track measurements from where the float meets up with the apron. I would think this should be a constant from float to float so that float could be used at various aprons. If I don't find this measurement I'll just start making my floats with my own measurements. Thanks for any help.

Work in progress, new tree line...(part2)
Hi all,
still re working my tree line, even added a red beech tree to get some variation in color. I'll be adding some more trees in the coming weeks, but first I am going to let sink in this new setting. Tree lines is give and take, that's why I am going in small steps and building it all up. ("every day I'm shoveling",lol)
Got an idea last night....
Hi all,
still dealing with that P.T.S.S. and making appointments for my soon to be installed solar panels, the Willamette Valley Sub is going solar power by the end of this trimester, lol. I wasn't happy about one part of the layout.
