Progress - 28 Apr 2012

Last couple of days, I have been working on adding the industry siding at Clarksville for the Cotton Seed Oil Co, Freight House and Depot. Turnout is in place for tht stock yard just need to lay the track now.

Here the overall photo, the depot and freight house is the white paper just before the switch.

And a couple of close ups

The Cotton Seed Oil Co. is comprised of  a seed house (receiving) , main building (seed and cake presses) and a hull house (shipping) along with storage tanks for the seed oil.

Clarksville - Cotton Seed Company

Over the last couple weeks I have been laying out the Cotton Seed Company for Clarksville. After a lot of compression I have settle with a plan. There will be a main building, two sheds and Storage tanks for now.

First a couple of shots of the mock-up.

Then I started on how to build the main building . I had some Walther's Cornerstone modular kits on-hand so I going to them a try.

First wall

Not totally liking how this these kits go together, just have to see how it comes out.

Storage Tanks - Part III

Continued working on with the three additional tanks this weekend. Sanded the styrene caps down and installed the center gauge hatch and man-ways.

Storage Tanks - Part II

Not a lot of work since my last post. What I have done was accomplished yesterday.

Add handrail around the top of the first tank

My rough touch will require a little straightening of the brass handrails and ladder.

Then proceed with cutting down the remaining couplers and glue on the styrene cap

Thanks to a comment posted by Brad I acquired some stairs from Plastruc to tried again to add the spiral stairs, looks promising.
