We've got number boards too!!!!

I wasn't joking around when I said I was thinking about installing number boards so I went ahead and installed EF200-3 number boards on the front and sides of the locomotives. 

Weve got grab irons lol

I've always wanted to install the supplied grab irons on my locomotives now that I've done them successfully I will be doing it more often, Did I do a good job. Next are number boards that can't be too bad right?

Possibly my biggest N scale purchase ever lol.

Today my Evergreen 12" X 24" styrene corrugated siding showed up today, I think this is my largest purchase for N scale. I put my size 14 New Balance sneaker on the siding since I don't have a banana to compare it with.

The week in review

This week I did a little work on the trains, I cleaned up the diorama,
and organized stuff. I got some brass windows off of eBay this week and installed some knuckle couplers. I also built most of the GreenMax Maintenance Garage too. I modeled a few cellphone towers in Tinkercad.

Whats next cellphone towers?

Yeah, I guess so in this week's "What's new in 3D modeling" of course I have no expertise in 3D modeling let alone 3D cellphone tower modeling. So I saw some stuff on the internet and made a 3D rendering of it. I don't think it looks too bad maybe I'll even send it off to get printed who knows? The newest towers are copies of the real thing in Charleston South Carolina USA and yes they look like toilet paper rolls lol. 

The Bunny Barriers have been printed

Yup, I just got a notification that the Bunny Barriers  have been printed and shipped. If you don't know what a Bunny Barrier is it is a cute animal could be a bunny it could be a frog or a duck. In Japan, they are used in areas where barriers are needed usually around construction sites, etc. So being I like Japanese items I decided to get some barrier bunnies printed since I don't think that they're made commercially.

Working on the GreenMax Train Maintinance Garage

Well at first I didn't like this structure I thought it was dated and probably wouldn't fit into my timeframe which is modern day. But after playing around with it the structure grew on me and when I started putting it together I liked it even more. Below are some pictures of the kit in various stages of assembly and it is not complete or painted. I built this structure to my specifications so it looks nothing like the other pictures you may see. I plan to add an inspection walkway to the maintenance garage as soon as I find the material needed which I give credit to this video its pretty simple some styrene and brass handrails, I may also use the brass Aru inspection stand that I purchased recently.
