September This and That

I really like the photo that I've posted up at the top of the blog for September.  JSSX 815 (which I numbered after my sister's birthday) is dragging along empty CN gondola 143177.  Here's the same picture again so nobody has to scroll back up to the top.

The gondola isn't mine, it belongs to Don Janes, but I did the weathering on it.

This photo is from a few months ago when I had assembled the overpass, has my JSSX 815 about to roll beneath it

I'm not sure whether I'll do it or not, but I've been considering blocking in these windows with siding or maybe concrete block just to change up the look a bit.

Posed these two boxcars on the on-street trackage on South Industrial Blvd. for this photo.

And, I finally got back to doing some work on my industrial building project from a couple of months ago.  I shortened the platform where the silos are located by about 20 feet, allowing me to move the whole thing a little further from the overpass.

I've given the two silos some streaking rust, and also added piping from them into the building although the piping still needs a little weathering.  Weathering streaks have also been done on the warehouse building and foundation.

The whole structure assembly is mounted onto a piece of Gator Foam (I think that's what it's called) that's 6" x 36".

Special thanks go to George Dutka for giving me the Gator Foam quite a while ago. I've finally gotten a round to using it George. I've painted it brown before starting to add ground cover.

Have a good week everybody.
