News Letter July 2010

    Hi Folks,

    Here is some fun stuff to look at and see if it will work for your layout.

   Here is an O scale store that was inspired by my trip to Gold Hill Nevada in June. I also added
   some of the pictures I took in Nevada below. Anyway back to the store. This could be used as a
   store, mining office, logging office, barber shop and the list goes on. My building will go into my
   layout town just the right size and up close so people can see the detail. Check out the detail.
   The building is built out of wood but one side is covered with tin. Must of ran out of material for
   the other sides. The building is hollow you have to do some minor assembly.

    Here is another tank for the O scale guys. This time a square tanks all beat up and sitting on wood
    ties. This could be used for gas or water you have to figure that out. This is a one piece casting. Do
    not like it sitting on the wood ties sand them off and put on what you want. The man is not included
    just to show some reference.

     We also have a new HO scale scene. This casting is 'What Happened?' a steam crane in
    the mud. Check out the pictures below all the stumps are molded in to the casting base. This could
    even be a scene where these two fellows find this in a clearing in the woods. Then wonder how
    it happen. 

    Here is a HO Log truck molded in one piece. All you have to do is paint it. This could be a cheap
    way to get a fleet log log trucks for your layout. Going to make some log trucks in the future that
    are 1930's models.

    Each month I try and make an item that is inexpensive in these trying times. Here is a HO scale
    loading dock for your siding. Check out the board detail. You could even put two of these loading
    docks together end to end and get a larger loading dock.

    Also I'm selling my FSM collection since since I'm committed to  ON30 scale. I only have the
    current jewel kits up on the site now and will add some of  the older ones later. So you can check
    those out at FMS for Sale   

      What's on the Workbench
 
   Here is a little tip when working with Rusty Rail castings. If a casting is warped or you want to
    change an items appearance use a hair dryer. Hold the item under the heat and in 30 seconds
    or depending on how hot your hair dryer is,  you can remove the item from the heat and start
    to shape that item. Do not put the resin in the oven.

    Here are some of the pictures from my June Nevada trip.

 

   You can now get catalogs of the products in Adobe format on  the web page. A complete catalog of
   all products or an HO scale catalog or an O scale catalog is available. If you have a problem reading
   the Adobe catalogs you may need to download the most current version of the Adobe reader. This is
   a free download.
