Reply To: MRBT 1920s Layout

[jymrpvzdnskxnqtc]

Since the weather has pretty much stunk all winter ive had a fair amount of time to work on the layout. I got tired of seeing most of the track laid but “stuff” piled all around so I decided to work on the Mill #3 in Flat River to at least see how the 2 major buildings would look in styrene. Almost none of the buildings i will need are available so I’ll have to scratch build them and this will be a first for me. Anyway the Mill is up along with the dryer room and loading shed. had to guess on the coal dump since ive never seen a photo of it. Im going to do the upper portion of the mill with a picture but need to find someone better at photo shop to see what i can do. I also did a basic sceniking just to get a feel for it. While I had all the materials out i decided to give the engine house and machine shop a shot in Bonne Terre as well. Pretty happy so far other then the roof on the engine house being too tall. i may or may not takle that later. All the roofs are removeable and i plan to put some LED’s in at a later date. Im also still waiting on some more windows. Im not happy with any of the smokestacks Ive found so far for either the dryer house or the plant at BT so I might end up casting those like i did for the bridge thats buried under the stuff i moved to work on these areas.
