Hey guys, some of you may have seen a few of my bits n pieces in the On30 group but i thought its time to show a bit of my n scale stuff since we don't see a lot of it around here. I recently got some laser kits that i have been working on slowly. I was going to put them all on a small new england style shelf layout but at the momentim thinking about moving again so ill just keep building.
The fist one is a Small car float. Its scratch built from styrene. Its not quiet finished in the photos but close enough. It holds 6 cars and i feel it will make a nice place for cars to go beyond the layout.
Also a bachman 4-8-2 i just finished weathering.
Now for some of the laser stuff.
The name of the manufacture has escaped me at the moment but this is a creamery and ice house i have built. I have resprayed to roof and added some weathering to the rest of the structuctures no as well.
And the last one is bar mills kit we all know.
I like this kit and i am contemplating buying another two and bashing them into a larger structure in the future. I don't have finished pics but this is about 95% complete. It was also my first go at shingles and they are finiky but i love the outcome.
I think at only 21yr im going to stuck in this hobby for a long time to come.

Adrian, you have built and weathered some mighty fine looking models! I would never have guessed your car float was scratchbuilt (instead of built from a kit) if you hadn't said so. Very nicely done!

Thanks for the good comments.
Simon i understand about the close up work. I had failing eye sight but managed to have it fixed about 12 months ago. There doesnt seem to be many craftsman layouts in n scale. I think it is easier to reach that higher standard that in n scale because not many people pay that much attention to the really small details. I see some of you Ho guys putting newspapers on tiny tables and things now thats fine detail.
I would love to build a layout in the future that is of craftsman standars in N-scale. Even if it was only small.

Adrian,
Great job! Love the car float, I have to build one for my layout very similar to yours, right now I have a stand in 1"x3" about 9" long.
Look forward to seeing more of your work.

A fine array of nice models, Adrian. All of them feature excellent weathered finish, and hadn't you said it is N scale, it would be impossible to guess it.

Beautiful .... Some splendid modelling and the weathering on the freight cars and engine is superb ... used but not abused.
Looking forward to see more more your excellent work. N scale, I would have never known.
