[ginzokid]

I locked the other thread. There is some good stuff in there that probably has been reposted in other threads. I'll check. In the meantime, here's another place to write. B-)

I decided to add another siding for the as yet to be completed brewery. I have the switch cut in and the roadbed laid. Tomorrow I'll lay the track. B-)

Gotta do some RR work as untouched. SInce having friday off I have made lots of progress in my car modelling. My Dale Sr #3 car is done and on display at LHS. I finished my Shelby Series 1. Been working on a Porsche race car getting it to the point of chassis completion and just body paintjob left. Also worked on a 2001 Corvette Z06, cutting out trunklid and making hinge and get it rady for primer. Been picking at other parts as far as shooting all the flat/matte black pieces at once.

Haven't touched layout but I built a grain silo from a RIx kit and am picking at DPM corner apathy-thingy structure, whatever it is called. Still got 2 more silos and the elevator from the Rix kit to build. no idea where they are going. Might use one silo for a replica of Prarie Maid Cereals here and use the other stuff for grain loading facility.

assemled the bulk of a modern city water tower (walthers golf ball style) Difficult kit. 5 pieces total, plus decals. Couple years ago I bought a RIX HO scale storage tank (60ft tall 24 ft wide scale). The kit is made up of sections that glue together to form a band and then you stack the bands. I made half bands and stacked them half as high so I have 4 low-relief tanks for a petro-chemical plant. I will have to take some pics and probably put them in the other group.

Started and copleted an I/m hopper kit. Sakatchewan Potash Cor cyl hopper. Also half done is same kit only in Canpotex road.

In the final stages of painting a GHQ Front end Log loader that I scratch built a bucket to turn it into a payloader (front end loader) for cement plant. Starting to look like one so it is a neat little kit. Even pivots in the middle. I had a can of machinery yellow spray paint from when I painted my plastics fabrication plant so it is a perfect match for Caterpillar Yellow (older generation) Before the brighter 'Cat' yellow. I will post a pic in yahoo once completed.

Why aren't you posting pictures here anymore? B-)

[barrysfp45]

[jamajack]

I had issues of not getting photo file size small enuf for ebay to accept. Got tired of it so gave up with ebay. I can't believe you guys can't get into yahoo. browser issues? I'll see what I can do again ref uploading here.

[jamajack]

Thanks Dave, good looking pictures there Jack

nice to see ebay allows you to click on photo to see a larger view.

My big problem with the yahoo group is that I can't seem to upload any photos. Strange. Guess that group is not our answer, especially if some members can not even get into it. B-)

[dl85vette]

Started scratch building a loading facility structure for my cement plant, based loosely on a similar stucture 15 minutes south of me. I get a shot of it once I get a bit more done to the side wall.

I have no problem getting into our Yahoo group or viewing the phots. Chuck
