Ludgren Equipment Company

I have been making progress on my Ludgren Equipment Company.

I still need to line out an office inside the main garage and finish up the windows and doors.

A Backdrop Beginning

I have been working on a few projects that the main being a photo backdrop for my modules.
It is nothing fancy, just hides the garage and gives me some photographic options.

Not nearly as encompassing as my last backdrop but it is something.

GN X-1852 Diesel Electric Crane

I have finished my model of the Great Northern Diesel Electric crane and I am pretty happy with the results.

A new page and a little update

I have been continuing to work on projects slowly through the Summer, some of the projects I am using for some articles I am trying to write so I have not been posting pictures or updates. I did join a challenge on the BIG BLUE forum to "adopt an orphan" or find a lost project and finish it by Labor Day. I also did add a page to show some of my Great Northern equipment that is not specifically for my Oregon Trunk layout click HERE to see the new page,

I am going to try to post more often, but no promises.

SP&S RS3 #65

I am trying to get more focused on my projects taking them one at a time. I have decided to start with a custom painted Atlas RS3 I did around 10 years ago. I started with completely disassembling the unit and correcting some of the issues that I have found with the unit. I am correcting the fuel tank, radiator, pilots, smokestack, cab interior, and adding all the appropriate details. It still has a long ways to go, but it is starting to look like a proper SP&S unit.

Mr. Humphrey's House

I have been working on a small house for the Free-mo portion of the Lelco Spur. I picked up the "Drayton" produced by Branchline Trains. This is a laser cut building featuring peel and stick parts and tab construction. The building went together rather quickly and I decided to add an extension to the house so he could have indoor plumbing. I also added a garden and some flowers around the house for visual interest.

FREE BEER...tomorrow

I am continuing to work on my Haines Distribution center, I still have a few interior details to finish up. I have done a little weathering on the building but I still need to add sings, final details and finish weathering the building. I am going to take a little break for now and work on the Lelco Sawmill building so I can continue to work the area around both structures. I find that I like to work from back to front so I am not working over existing completed scenes.
