CREATING A TANK CAR

This is a toy train frame & bogeys. I have added new fine scale wheels & some lead to the frame, to keep it on the tracks.
           I have made the tank out of a calking gun cylinder & use beer can bottoms for the ends.
          Thin coffee stirrers were used on the top of the flat car. A bit of plastic around the edge.
                                       A shampoo bottle cap was used for the dome.
                                                          It is starting to take shape !
 

A CORNER PROJECT

                                    I don't like this fence !  It is going to have to go !!!
What to do with this corner ???   The Yellow behind the castle, will become a cliff face. The upper level.....
The train will go past a medieval castle, while above a funeral is going on ?   In the distance you can see a haunted fairy tale castle.....These are just some ideas at this stage !
 

A NICE LOCO from a DECEASED ESTATE

This is just a little O-Scale Diesel Loco I picked up at Branch Line, they told me it was from a deceased estate.


                             I'm thinking, I can improve on that & make it look better !
                                                            I think it is very Cute !
