I recently got some Walthers Rooftop Details and some Rooftop Details from a eBay seller. I combined the details onto the roofs of some Outland Models buildings and think that they look really good what do you think?

Today i created a 3D model of a large HVAC
I couldn't find a N scale version of a large HVAC so I modeled my own. I took inspiration from GTAO V and some of the buildings in that game.
I searched for different elements of the HVAC like the fans and louvers on the unit and the shapes.
I can't post it being on mobile or I would post the screenshot of the HVAC unit. I think it came out very well and I measured it a 1:160 figure.
It came out so well that I sent the model to an online 3D printer. Hopefully, soon after the new year, I will have a physical resin model to use on my incoming locomotive engine house.
Stay tuned.........

Today I used a online 3D printer
I've used an online 3D printer for another project in the past that wasn't the best, Today I tried a different online 3D printer. The file I wanted to be printed was for 6 large HVAC units that I found on Thingiverse. I wanted something large but cheap as well and HVAC units sold online weren't really my cup of tea so I found a file online then found a printer and boom the rest is history. Im hoping that they will print like the ones below, They will be installed on the incoming Outlands Models 3 stall engine house along with some Walthers Roof Details and some eBay purchased roof details.

Revisiting a old project GreenMax 2528 Track Maintenance Diesel Locomotive & 3-Freight Cars Kit
I was pretty bored and decided to revisit an old project my GreenMax Track Maintenance Kit. I added the side frames to the carts and I also weathered the cars with an India Ink wash.

Can I turn this sheet of brass into a N scale boxcar/gondola?
Well, the project is on hold why you ask, The brass is too thick to work with I tried using a jeweler saw it took too long, I tried my Dremel tool which is too dangerous, I tried a full-size saw with the wrong blade, I tried a mini bolt cutter that's too small. I have access to a full-size bolt cutter that I will bring in my brass sheet and that should work since it's larger we'll see.
