For sale. Yes that's right. For sale. I am selling the scratchbuilt pier and warehouse. It was built for an older planned part of my layout that has been eliminated. I was going to use it in a different area but it will require too much modification to use it. That means you get this cheap. The decking is all that needs to be finished. I started adding lights and will include the ones that haven't been installed yet. The pier measures approximately 11.5 in. X 8.5 in. X 3 in. It is designed to have a track laid down one side using code 100 track. So far i have about 20 hours of labor in this. All this can be yours for the measly price of $50.00 plus shipping. Paypal is preferred. I would be willing to trade for scratchbuilding supplies or possibly detail parts. Feel free to ask questions at espenmarsh@yahoo.com thank you

Well I have managed to get more work done to the layout. Most of it has just been me goofing around with figures. I have finished the road up under the bridge so I will be re intalling the track soon and building the bridge. I'm sorry the pictures are not inline this time but my keyboard on the computer decided to quit working yesterday and I havent had a chance yet to go buy a replacement.

The trailer came from Woodland Scenics. It was part of their #5532 Thompson's traveling trailer vehicle set. I repainted it and then weathered the heck out of it.

Wow, its been quite a while since I put any updates on here. I better fix that right now.

Hello again.

Work on The Better Late than Never railroad has continued even if I'm bad at putting up posts about it. To start off here is an overview of the layout so far.

There has been quite a bit done since I last posted. I'll start at the point closest to the camera and work my way along showing what has been done. First up is the beach. This is also the location of the 3 mile lighthouse. I still have more work to do on the area but it is on hold while I finish up the road that passes behind it and under the tracks.


Up next are the Cooperage, which is the brownish building and a yet unnamed business. these too are not fully done because of the ongoing roadwork.
Following that is the town boat ramp, Marsh's Minnows and Bait, the blacksmith, the lobster company, and a couple other buildings. This area is home to the lobster boat Sir Roses of the River which it seems has left the dock yet again without its captain.


Now passing by the end of the lobster company wharf is the first ever sailboat I have made. I had fun building it and have plans fro a couple more elsewhere on the layout.

now of course i have to show you the other much smaller sailboat I made for the three old codgers.

After the lobster company we come to the boat rental company and  Candy's Vegan Emporium. We can also see the Smyth Family out for a cruise in their motorboat.

This Brings us to the last waterfront company, the Workman Fish Market. This is also home to Captain John J Smith, who is constantly sinking his boat because he just isn't that bright. His mother has stopped by to try and cheer him up after his last sinking.


Well that is it for now. I am going to try to get better at making more updates and showing the progress on the layout, how ever little it may be. and as always you can see more of what is going on in Seaview by following along with the Three Old Codgers on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/3oldcodgers

Till next time.

Kit Building / CCK Trundle's Bakery build
September 14, 2014, 12:10:58 PM
Good morning all you happy little forum people.

I have started building CCK's Trundle's bakery kit. I am going to be making it into a waterfront version. That is was how it was originally designed when Jeff was sent the drawings that some nameless person who lives in my mirror designed. So without further ado, let's get busy with some pictures. I appologize that these aren't Jamie quality pictures but I'm stuck with using my phone camera as my regular camera won't play nicely and come out of hiding

As is forum law, here are the beginning pictures. The box and it's contents. I didn't take a picture of the instructions but it does come with them for those who feel the need to use them. I think I may have used this set to clean up a paint spill.




I started off by bracing the walls. I didn't do any bracing on  the attic window  because there isn't really any room for it.


While the glue dried on the bracing I painted the doors and windows. I chose to use Polly scale light freight car red. I also painted the columns and store front wall section the same color as well as the corner trim. Might as well do it all while I am using that color.


The next step was to assemble the walls. It went very quickly. To make sure I got the second story part of the front wall in the right location I held the store front wall in place then glued in the second story.


Once everything was dry and solid, I gave the walls a coat of Hunterline gray stain. Then I started with painting the walls Pollyscale depot buff. I didn't get the paint on too heavy because I wanted the gray to show through in some spots. When the depot buff had dried I went over the walls again with the gray stain to age everything a bit.


Now I moved on to the store front. It goes together quite easily. After I had the windows and doors glued in I used mircoscale kristal klear for the glass. It probably would have been smarter to do that before the windows were glued in but I had a brain fart. I glued the posts in place and decided it needed to have something added. I glued a piece of bracing across the top which I think gave it a more finished appearance. I know it will be obscured by the awning but it made me happy.

The next step was to glue the store front in place and start adding the windows and doors around the rest of the building.


And that is where I am going to stop for now. Tune in next time for the fun of roofing and making up the base for the building.

Layout Tours / Re: The Better Late than Never railroad.
September 08, 2014, 01:50:47 AM
Time for another update.

Things have been progressing here in the small town of Seaview. First I have finished up the main road through the grade crossing. The crossing itself was an interesting project. it is made entirely from individual wood ties cut to fit.

I also have been working on the waterfront quite a lot. I have it all figured out even though there were a few small hiccups along the way. I had the buildings all laid out and i thought it was looking rather good.

Of course no sooner than I'm happy with the way things are than Mr Grove had to release Harsh's Meat Market. I liked the building and it fit so well on my street that i had to move Workmans's (sorry Gant). So I played around and came up with a new idea of moving Workmans down to a stone pier below Harsh's. Looks great i thought again.


Well i went ahead and started carving up the foam. One i was done I realized that Workman's wouldn't quite fit. It was about 1/2 an inch too long and blocked the driveway coming down from the street. After some thinking and asking The Intelligent Mr Groovey for some ideas on a building. I Came up with the plan tomake an extension off of the back of Harsh's and make it a fish market with their own fleet of boats. I'm now just awaiting the new wall sections from The master of the laser cut kits.
Now here is where things get slightly wierd. I took a break from working on the module and doubled the size of the layout. Ok i set up a second module. The Little people of Seaview were so excited that they had a big party that was even attended by the Pope and Queen Elizabeth. Its not very often your world doubles in size.
Once all the festivities had died down I got busy working on all the stone work for the Fish company pier and the middle inlet. It must have been while I was working on this that one of the Ledbetters snuck in and made his home on the layout. It seems one Eustis Ledbetter made his home on the fish company pier. I guess he got a job gutting fish or maybe he's a ship captain, who knows. the company has rather low standards so I'm sure he will fit in.
.
Well that's it for this time. I'll try to keep the updates coming more often. Before I stop this though i just have to share one more picture that I don't think needs any explanation.
