bROADOAK Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 A view looking down on the engine house at CC showing the servicing facilities. The rocky scenery to the right and also over the tunnel is made from rag soaked in plaster over a plywood and polystyrene block frame. Part of the control panel can be seen to the left of the picture. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 A high nose 3000 horse power GP40 in Guildford colours rolls over Colonel?s Creek having spotted some covered hoppers at the Farmers Co-Op elevator. The John Deere?s driver has parked his tractor by the side of the track while he gets his lunch at a small diner opposite. The hand painted back scene is supposed to represent distant rolling hills covered with Pine and Aspen trees. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 A view of the corner of the layout at Benson showing the Arkansas Feeds buildings with a truck making its way there to be loaded with chicken feed. The red brick building is a Metcalfe card kit. The white car next to the oil tank is a Ford Mustang, rare in this country but common in the States. The locomotive passing by is an Alco RS11, a 1500HP road switcher. The buildings and scenic features disguise the sharp curve of the railroad track.
