This is Tom's other 4' module. The grain
elevator is bashed from the Z
scale kit and
the Walthers N scale expansion
elevator silo
kit cut down by about 30%.
The blue "Butler
Buildings" are also N scale kits
cut to make them
about 30% shorter. I think
they are made by
RIX. The container yard
base is made of IBL
double track cork cut to about 2"
long, then
spray painted grey.
I then mounted them to the
foam using a foam-safe cement and
used
Woodland Scenics foam
putty to fill in the cracks
and "stain" the asphalt.
None of the buildings are
mounted permanently. They
just either sit on pads
or are sitting in areas cut in
the plaster cloth
covering over the foam
base. The module looks wider than 2' because
there is a 1' x 2' extension where they grain
elevator sits. There are only 6 switches on
this module...most of them are on the 6'
module on the right of this
picture. tomg
