Green Max fishing boat models Rather oriental design needed to be modified I didn't want to identical boats, so more mods Modification work in progress Not looking so similar anymore Two boats - similar, might have been built by the same boat builder, but different. Another day of bashing done - each is taking on its own character

A busy work week left only a little time for the initial photo-shoot. I've made two contributions to Littl' Puddy, one was to weather the under carriage, just a little too clean compared to the heavily weathered top side. Applied dirt-rust mixture of Bragdon's powders. But the more obvious addition, is a mangy mut named Roger (after Roger Miller famous for his hobo melody "Trailers for Sale or Rent"). Roger took his seat (some old pallets) in the Littl' Puddy Express and will ride the rails around the world.

Shown are shots of my coupler conversion project, going to MT couplers instead of the Rapido couplers. And I'm aging my rolling stock using Bragdon weathering powders. Monday 31 December 2007: This section contains photo's of modelling projects in progress. Shown are shots of my coupler conversion project, going to MT couplers instead of the Rapido couplers. And I'm aging my rolling stock using Bragdon weathering powders.

Converting the Coupler and Weathering the Caboose On this one, I glued the MT Coupler box on - used a stryene dowl to add some strength See how far this coupler box sticks out - not good. Compromise spotting the screw away from the deck If you are going to do MT conversions, you need this tool. Finnished effort. Lightly weathered with Bragdon powders. Aging Project: Another view of the grader load Aging Project: 2 of 4 boxcars I weathered, the powders take the bright plastic sheen off these yellow cars Aging Project: weathering my cars with Bragdon Powders. redid this Grader flat load. Aging Project:: weathered cars round the bend Track before weathering and ballast Track before weathering and ballast Painted but not yet ballasted Freshly Ballasted Track - needs clean up when completely dry Ballast and Weathered, needs clean up and weeds added

This is the lowest level on the layout and is one inch above the plywood base (water level). It is the foreground of my layout and where most of the switching actions take place. The yard is in place - but I want to convert to peco switches and improve the operations of the layout. The Turn Table was a real challenge and lot of thanks are due my friend John for working with me to get it installed and working. Now to build out from there.
