Start of the Stockyard spur

I have had the benchwork started for the Bend Stockyard spur for awhile but have not done much with it. I had the opportunity to add the backdrop and line up some of the track for project. I have some issues I still need to work out on the backdrop, but I at least have a start. Once the backdrop is cleaned up a little I will start on painting the distant parts and start on roughing in scenery.

Tiny People

Finally fixed the people on the inside of my Ludgren Equipment Company. I am pretty happy with the way they turned out as most of the time HO scale figures look goofy. All of this figures have been customized by either modifying their clothing and/or body position. I then hand painted them all and over sprayed them with Dullcote.

Update to my Plan

Just doing a little work on the page today.

I updated the Bend Oregon Free-mo merging it and my Stockyard spur, being as it pretty much one and the same. You can see the update HERE  along with the new plan as seen below:

This has allowed me to open up a new page and show the new project I have been working on.

An Oregon Trunk Production...

I created a short video of a short train on my North Junction Free-mo module. This is the first time I have created a video, I still have some work to do, but it is better than nothing.

Ludgren Interior Done...almost!

I have finished up the interior details of my Ludgren Equipment Company machine shop. Next will be to do some weathering, get some figures modified for the scene and then I can move onto the lights.

Some more details

I am continuing to add details to my Ludgren Equipment Company machine shop. I only have a few items left to add to the interior and then I can work on the lighting. My goal is to have it completed by the end of May.

Some junk just sitting around...

I have been working on some details around the outside the Ludgren Equipment machine shop. Here is a broke down tractor and some scrap that is rusting away. There may be some more use for these old pieces  of equipment, or maybe if  scrap prices go up they may ended up being cut up. For now the rust gathers and the weeds grow.
