Cricut Maker

 We got a Cricut Maker. My spouse will use it for crafts and T-shirts and I plan to use it to cut styrene to make buildings, scenery details, and possibly freight cars. There are a few that I doubt will ever be produced in RTR or kit form so this will be the method I use to ensure accuracy/consistency for cutting. I joined a Facebook group that specializes in adapting the Cricut for modeling purposes.

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.
