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.

I actually did something

I have not posted in awhile, between work and life model railroading has not been a priority. I have finally got back to working on Ludgren Equipment. I have done a little weathering on the outside of the structure, which is a work in progress. I also started working on the interior of the machine shop area which will be visible as the large rollup door will be open. 

Ludgren moves inside

I was able to add an exterior to Ludgren Equipment, as neat as it looked with just the Skelton the employees will be happy to stay out of the rain and snow. I also was able to start in the base for the building. It will be a small yard area for old equipment and parts. It will be enced with a wood fence which I have started to rough in. Next will be to start adding details and weathering.

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.
For more photos of the build you can check HERE.

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.
