Structures

All,

While trolling through my photos....i found some of the structures that i have built in readiness for the layout....



 I guess that this will end up as part of a cement works industry on the layout...Again it started life as a Walthers Kit.





 The goods shed is based on a kit....Stroud Road if i remember correctly....The deck & understructure were remade using laser cut components turned out during a quiet moment in the business.

The 44 is a Trainorama unit fitted with DCC & Sound....and showing signs of "Lack Of Love"




The flour mill was inspired by the version used on the Lambing Flat Layout......It started life as a Walthers "Greatland Sugar Refining" Cornerstone Kit.

I must admit that it is hard not to be inspired by layouts such as Lambing Flat & Bylong. 

I do have 2 of these kits but was daunted by kitbashing 2 into 1......I feel the finished article will produce the flavour i am looking for.



The deck, awning & substructure are again a product of our own laser being used for "foreign orders" 





 I did overdo the weathering where the transition from the awning joins the roof & will correct in time...

I also need to finish this structure off with eaves, gutters & finials etc...




 Could not resist posting this black & white version of the structure




Will post some more soon

Regards,

Fat Controller

  1. G'day Rod,

    By a strange coincidence, I've got a Greatland Sugar kit that I'm converting into a flour mill.....(all your fault James Mc.....)

    Can you PM me please, I'd like to talk to you about the awning, deck and substructure you made for it.

    Cheers,

    Tom.
