Appreciate that Kevin.
The pipes needed something for a little visual interest, good you noticed Bryan, you’re one for those small details as well!
Jerry
Glad to hear Rusty, and nice hearing from you.
Hey Tom, appreciate the support and your thoughts here.
Thanks Brett and I have begun detailing and using some of your 3D detail parts starting with the Boiler "house" here. When I get to finished photos will point them out as I go. Have the fire extinguisher hanging on a post just out of view!
Thanks Emery, and as I mentioned to Brett I'm just getting started detailing the 3D stuff you wizards have created. Honored to be able to incorporate them in my project here.
Ken
Appreciate your thoughts Tom and this build will certainly have plenty of "twists" Lol.
General view of the interior from the large open east side of Eureka Springs. I was able to include some of the wonderfully detailed 3D printed SWSM detail parts, I will point those out as I go through the images. The feature in the center is a movable elevated platform for locomotive cleaning and maintenance. Note the fire extinguisher mounted on the exterior wall on the right...Brett's 3D detail...incredible.
Shot of the line shaft operating a couple pieces of equipment. The maintenance platform is in the middle, note the water line and hose for cleaning locos and equipment...I found a reason for the grate between the rails...Lol.
View from the north side of Eureka Springs.
Close up of the wheel lathe.
Featuring the line shaft config. The two screw jacks tucked beside the open stall are Brett's 3D printed parts...absolutely flawless pieces with outstanding detail!
Other end and the other, smaller lathe, with several of SWSM 3D Details. SierraWest 3D Details: Tank cylinder without the valve, open wood barrel, two types of screw jacks, open top fuel can behind the screw jacks.
View of the engine and boiler shed and line shaft. I decided to do something a bit different and made the shed with a below ground floor and a foundation. There is a grate covered drain in the back corner and the diorama terrain grade will slope away exposing the drain pipe on the outside...more on that with the scenic work.
Additional view of the shed without the roof finished of course. The roof will be corrugated metal.
View of the electrical box and wiring for the shop lights that don't work! Lol. Roof is removable so have to keep the details honest...
Sneek Peek...I completely re-designed the attached machine shop...obviously! Brett's original stone wall design gave me the idea to re-work the structure to have not a stone wall but a stone foundation and actual lower level. That lower door leads to a functional room with actual working lights...more on that later on...
George
Appreciate that Rick. I'll get some pictures of that lower room later on as I mentioned.
I'll take that Kevin, thanks buddy!
