Hi everyone, I thought I would share with you some pics of a project that I've been working on for more than a year now.
It's a kit that I bought 20 years ago and have finally got around to building it.
It's from "South River Modelworks" the HO scale Brick 8 stall roundhouse kit No. 220.
I also kitbashed what was a "Downtown Deco 2 stall engine house kit into a machine shop at the rear of my roundhouse.
Both kits wall are made from Hydrocal so they worked together well.
It's still a project in the works, but I am now far enough along to show you some pics of how it's looking.
I also switched out the powerhouse that came as part of the roundhouse kit for another one the came with a different SRMW"s kit "Black Stone Paper Mills" instead.
Anyway here are some progress pics.

   

   

   

   

   

   

I will update with more photos as my project proceeds.
Thanks for having a look!

To start us off this week I have a couple of legends. Reading T-1 (Broadway Limited) and PRR K-4 (Bachmann Spectrum).







If I can get myself organized I hope to post my latest run by soon.

In the meantime I hope all is well with Bruce and Deano and we hear from them soon.

A Fallen Flag to start off the weekend.

Lehigh & Hudson River RS3's (Atlas Classic) passing O.L. King & Sons Coal Dealer and the Golden Valley Canning Co.

Looks like I am starting the thread this week. I hope all is well with Bruce.

B&O GP-40 locomotives lead a freight through Leiperville Union Station. Locos are Atlas Master with Command DCC installed. The other night I switched the jumper from DC to DCC on both locos so now they are full DCC.

To those who are Irish or wish you were Irish for today:

Had some ground fog around the docks, but was able to get a shot of Shore River and Conrail SW1500's working.

We have a neat little travel trailer converted into a used car office. A very cleaver name for a car dealership I might add. This trailer is the work of TMo (Todd) and he has donated it and will pay shipping to the highest bidder limited to the Contiguous US and Canada. This item measures 2" x 1" and will be a novel addition to any HO layout. It is detailed to look like what you might find in a used car lot in the seeder side of town and can disappear in a flash. It will be signed as a Todd Morris original to increase its collectable value, so don't hesitate to bid.

Now, let’s get started. We are offering this one-of-a-kind detailed HO trailer to the highest bidder. Here are the bidding rules:

1. There is no minimum bid and no reserve, the highest bidder at the time the auction closes will get the book.
   
   
2. Please keep you bid raises in increments of at least fifty cents and preferably a dollar or more. 
   
   
3. You can bid publicly by posting it in this thread. This thread is for bidding only; any comments or questions should be made in this "questions" thread or  by PM to either ezdays or ngauger. Non-bid posts will be deleted from this thread.
   
   
4. If you want to enter an anonymous bid (just like the rich and famous do), you can PM either ezdays or ngauger and we will bid on your behalf, (we will post the bid amount, but keep your name confidential, just like at those big auction houses). You may also want to give us the maximum you would want to go and we’ll bid for you by adding fifty cents above the last bid, up the maximum that you have set, again, just like Christie’s does for the big boys.
   
   
5. The auction will run until midnight, EST, March 12th, at which time we will announce the winner and ship it to them.
   
   
6. Todd has graciously offered to pay shipping to the winning bidder within the contiguous US or Canada.
   
   
7. Payment can be by PayPal, check or MO. We will give the winner instructions on how and where to pay.

I just took out an old Walthers wood and metal kit (Oscar) and find I'm out of date on some products.

Paint. Now that Floquil is gone, what range of paint will work on metal?  Is there a good primer to use? Will it work on wood as well?

Glue: I need to glue a metal piece to the wood floor and I think it should take some strain.  I used to use Goo (I have an old tube) but I was always getting some squeezing out of the gaps. The hobby shop sold me some gap-filling ACC. Will that do?

Thanks.
