Signals nearly complete

 I've painted the signals and attached the concrete bases.They are set up for photos to see what I need to address. I need to touch up the black on the target faces, but I think the signals turned out good. They still need a mile marker number decal. It was a fun build and I look forward to trying my hand at additional Showcase Miniatures signals.

Sides of the depot assembled.

Merry Chirstmas! Work continues on the Mopac's Blue Rapid, KS, depot. I've assembled the depot exterior walls and completed the asbestos siding on the ends. All windows are glued in. The bay window piece isn't glued in yet as I want to finish the interior to include the floor and walls. I received another order of styrene from Evergreen so I can work on the exterior corner trim pieces. I still need to install the interior trim around the windows/door and the wainscoting. I'm waiting for temperatures to warm up to allow me to airbrush.   South side of the depot Interior view looking west - awaiting floor, interior walls, and finishing North side of the depot - minus the bay window

Lake Junction Models Mopac double privy and tool house

Image
I built a Lake Junction Models (LJM) Mopac double privy like the one found at Waterville.  I took photos of it and the LJM Mopac tool house.  The Mopac used the tool house to store equipment for the section crew.  There was a wooden track to store track vehicles inside and also to the side of the tool house.  The double privy was interesting as the Waterville station agent, Milford Godsey, said that he didn't use it unless he had to.  The track workers would occasionally use it. Items were stored in the female side after the passenger trains stopped in November 1960.  Hopefully I can get back to the FMC 4526 models after the first of the year.
