The new Scratch Built Engine House on the pine Creek Railroad N Scale layout. This replaces the old stand in "Dayton Machine" Built Up building.
I have been doing more projects than writing as of late. After getting good reviews on the Pine Creek Railroad Layout at the NJ NMRA Division Meet back in March, I brought it home and tore the Engine House out and Scratch Built the new one that is pictured above. I am getting the layout ready to qualify for the NMRA Golden Spike Award. All that is left to do is one more scratch built building and one more piece of rolling stock. The building is going to be the old "Manasquan News Stand" that was located at the train station in Manasquan. It was moved and has been restored at the site of the Pine Creek Railroad, Wall, NJ. That project will be featured in these pages soon. The modeling contest for the May NMRA Division meet was cabooses. I decided that I would like to submit an entry, but I didn't have anything that I felt was ready to compete so I decided to built something. I took a little break from "N" scale and scratch built a model of a "Milwaukee Road" Transfer Caboose. If you are a reader or "Model Railroad Magazine" you no doubt saw one in the June issue. I used this article as inspiration for my model which is based on the original prototype before later modifications. Check it out on the "Scratch Builders Workbench" page. Future articles include installing a trolley on the Green Mountain & New England N scale layout. The project is completed and just needs to be written up. Also coming up is the construction of a large addition to the Darby Creek Railroad. Also coming soon, my own "N" scale layout is under construction. The bench work is done and I am currently adding the backdrops and track layout. Please come back often as I will be adding and up-dating material often. R. Steven Lang, Editor
