2018 FineScale Contest Room Videos

A quick short video from the 2018 FineScape Expo contest room. There were very few entries and the lighting was poor to take good video. However, it is what is was and this video might just give you some ideas.

There was a diorama/module at the 2018 FineScale Expo that had lots of fine structures and mini scenes. It was the best part of the show IMHO.

A fellow modeler has asked me, "Does anyone offer a glue that absorbs stain?"
Would anyone here know?

"Please do not reply to this thread" it is for information only on locating my Ox car build.
You can follow my construction build here; http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=51065 under "Model Railroad Forums / Logging, Mining, & Narrow minded"
Awhile back many of you seen my logging horse car build. You can find my Logging Horse Flatcar build here; http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=48573
Now I am attempting to build an Oxen flatcar for my logging company in HO scale. Like before, I had found some "G" scale models, from Lothar Gauf, a guy called the diorama man, of Ox cars, see two pictures of his work below. It is his fantastic builds that give me the inspiration for these types of projects. Trying in HO to capture his outstanding workmanship.

Campbell #400 Stockyard (ME Nelson) build

My current project was the Campbell #400 Stockyard (ME Nelson). I managed to modify it a bit to fit my layout's needs...The layout is set in 1962, along the edge of the SF Bay's suburbs where the rural ranches are fading away to be replaced by the suburban sprawl, and Hobby Ranches and horse stables are becoming the new norm. My Stockyard represents a couple of the old guys from the ranch days who are hanging on as Stock Brokers, providing premium stock to these folks, shipping in/out their fancy horses and arranging transport for the still popular annual Rodeo participants and their mounts. So, they have added some horse stalls and cleaned up their act, a bit!
Campbell kits have recently been updated with some laser cut sheet stock, and refreshed paperwork, but they are still pretty much the same - a nice reliable build. Having DIGITAL CALIPERS does make it go a lot easier! So does a nice stash of strip wood...
I did add interior/exterior lighting and detailing, but it will never be seen, as this one is 2ft from the front... good practice I guess.

VAN GELDER MOTORS

Had a chance to work on part of an HO Scale Craftsman Kit that was a special edition for the Crafstan Structures Show in 2008. It was produced by Doug Fos of Fos Scale Limited. The Kit included Van Gelder Motors, Mitchels Pub and Osolinski's Tattoos. I decided to add a little flavour and used an Easy Rider theme for the choppers at Van Gelder Motors. It is a special gift for a friend and fellow modeler Chris Savage who is currently building a model railroad in HO Scale. The Pub will become part of my future 1920s theme layout. That model will not be seen here. Cheers. Every Day is Train Day..

Warning: Do not stand under crane when loaded. - E. Stryde
I haven't been around for quite a while but I've been following this site when I have a chance. Sometimes real life just gets in the way. This is my latest diorama and is made of scratch-built and kit-bash structures.
All the wooden structures are scratch-built - the brick is made of two Con-Cor Supreme Bakery kits I had hanging around for many years. The castings are excellent for kit-bashing but
cutting them with a Zona saw was tedious.
Any comments are always welcome.
If you are interested please see my website for more pics of the diorama.

I'm hoping someone here remembers a train/rr chat site back in Oct-2000, looking for a member using "mongoose" as a username. At that time, he was with the FRA and living in Columbus, Ohio. Heard he moved to either PA or Md but still with FRA.
The site was changing to a "paid subscription" and that's when I decided to end it.

Heard about this site from a NMRA Div member for building my own stub switches.

I bought a G scale Bachman Spectrum 36 ton two truck Shay locomotive online. It came without an owner's manual. Does anyone know where I can obtain one? Maybe download one? Get a copy of one from someone who already has this locomotive? Any help or advice much appreciated.
