Sumpter,
Sound like an interesting project, you may have to make some more modules to expand the water to hold your growing fleet
Speaking of model boats, clever models has a DVD of printable models(cardstock) of a water front including a small cargo boat I have the O version DVD. Also been thinking about the next step in the Ruby Belle towboat that would be the pilot house.
Still working on the Huff n Puff kits, I have the first flat truss rods(black thread) installed the other three flats are going to get their rods made of small diameter stiff wire as the thread is hard to work with.
I have another order of custom decals coming soon from a different vendor. The box car will get the "Over rivers and threw woods the BFT carries the goods" tag line. Then I will be on the lookout for generic freight car data decals.
The laser cut kit station will be progressing right along as soon as I print up the 2 last remaining wall coverings and paint up the details(most are white metal castings).
The On30 bash project(s) on the back burner for the moment along with the coaling tower(90% done)
I am going to see a machinist tomorrow about having some S gauge wheels(steam drivers) made 6 of them 4 flanged and 2 blind for a scratch build loco I am planning on making sometime this summer.
As soon as I get all the above except the loco done I a will more than likely take a brief brake from modeling trains so I can build the Enterprise bridge from the original series always wanted the kit when I was younger and now they are reproducing the kit. Anyone who is interested I will update in the all other hobbies thread and maybe on the starship modelers forum.
The weather today cool and sunny not a drop of rain. The grass is lush and green(and tall)
