Northeastern Scale Lumber

The train to Friday has rolled into the station! T.G.I.F.! I want to share a build in the works from our friend Phil Blankenship. This is someone very passionate and dedicated to his work.
From Phil:
I am designing and engineering a WORKING SCALE MODEL of the famed, "DURANGO COALING STATION". It is being BUILT in progress, in PERIOD time, along with actual prints that I acquired throughout the years. This model is "O" 1 4/8 SCALE. It will be FULLY functional and recyclable to retrieve any waste material produced. Please see ATTACHED photos. This working prototype is still in progress. Believe me! Once I have completed this, I am NOT going to update or augment this design. I have already spent almost 2 years to this point with records to show and anyone else that wants to surpass my creation has "MY FULL ADMIRATION!". I hope you Have as much fun as I had. "TAKE PLENTY OF ASPIRIN!". Ha!!
I am moving on to other Architectural prints to re-design into "O" scale 1/48" FULL AUTOMATION,. I am NOT engineering and Building structures that you see in magazines. I am creating structures (IN FRAMEWORK) workings that shows the progress of folks that built the towns and cities during the "Recession Era" our ancestors (Family) built. Maybe our children will look upon this and reflect.....
This is being built VIA your engineering, wood accuracy, and supply. Good job folks! Keep it up....... Doc. Phil R&D.....

Hi Friends! I hope everyone is enjoying summer so far. I wanted to share some pictures with you from our friend Gary Thompson. Gary works in N Scale and his builds are amazing! What say you?
