Machinery repair company completed
I have completed the machinery repair company. Next I will install it on the layout. This company is named for a friend as I usually do. I added a lot of details to the company yard.
I added a gas pump near the office and an oil tank by the near gate, both cast metal commercial products. On the right side is a scratch built wood maintenance ramp with a truck on it.
There is an old tractor next to the raised oil tank and a carry tailer next to the maintenance ramp. There are four figures in the yard - one seated on the office platform with a clipboard, one at the entrance to the shed watching the repair progress, one at the hoist, and one by the maintenance ramp carrying a pipe.
This model end will be facing the edge of the layout end. It will be located across the track from the warehouse.
I did not bother detailing the module on the left of the above photo as it will not be visible. This was an enjoyable project, especially since i could add lots of details.

Very impressive, as usual.
ReplyDeleteI would love it if you could include in your photos, from time to time, something off to the side for scale. (A six-inch ruler, a pair of vise-grips, a soda can, or whatever you like.)
