Image of the Month

I was in Hearne Texas yesterday on the way to College Station to see my new grand daughter :) and of course had to do some rail fanning. I have seen this station before but wanted to get some shots of it. It is a 1901 MP/SP station, it is unique in that is was built between a cross over main line giving it a triangle foot print. I plan on taking more measurements and eventually scratch build this beauty. Nice work by the team that restored this truly incredible structure.

New Clinic

I just completed a new clinic for our NMRA division meeting. I thought I would share my techniques related to weathering. Here are some of the examples that I built to show the techniques I used. Depending how how heavily you want to weather, you can utilize different techniques.
