Latest and last projects - foulrift - 10-21-2010

Not satisfied leaving well enough alone,I added some new projects to my layout as well as re-doing a few areas.
First up is a pedestrian bridge making it easier for people on one side of the park to get to the diner

At the industrial parks office I added an observation platform

The oil dealer got a minor do over.I took down the vertical tanks and laid them horizontally.Added new piping and a service platform.

At the coal yard,I removed the fences and re-set them to make the yard a little more compact and to make it so the coal cars are inside the yard.

Lastly,the steel drum manufacturer.I took this whole area apart.Turned the building around and relocated the fences,finished goods and raw material storage.

Hope you all enjoy the changes that I have made.

I like the pedestrian bridge, any more close-up shots of it??


Re: Latest and last projects - foulrift - 10-21-2010

I'll see what I can do


Re: Latest and last projects - nachoman - 10-21-2010

I really dig your layout. Did you ever come up with a good operating scheme?


Re: Latest and last projects - foulrift - 10-21-2010

Thanks Kevin.As far as operations go,I'm going to try a system that I found at the Dallas Model Works web site.I looks like it may work for a small layout like mine.
Here are two close ups of the pedestrian bridge that Scubadude wanted.

Love the ped-bridge ! Is it scratch ? My acrophobia kicked in just viewing the pics ! Eek Bob C.


Re: Latest and last projects - foulrift - 10-24-2010

Bob-the ped-bridge is scratch built except for one set of stairs which are a laser kit.The other set I had to make(should have gotten two stair kits).

Thumbsup nice... I like that walkway..


Re: Latest and last projects - foulrift - 10-24-2010

Thanks.I had fun building it.Apart from a few mistakes involving placement between the rails,it went together rather quickly.
