I also got started with the details for the Mackenzie build. Here I'm installing the waterwheel and flume.

Thanks - This has been a very fun build. I'm looking forward to the final pictures of it on the layout.

Thanks Jerry - now for all the junk that will cover most of it up.

I added the dirt base for the junk yard today. I also started adding the interior details - the steam engine, and some work benches have been glued in. The HO figure laying between the locomotive inspection pits is my height gauge for hanging tools and equipment on the walls.

I also added the dirt and more details to the Mackenzie build. The chimney's were added along with the loose bricks falling all over the roof from the chimney that's on it's way down. The boat casting is very detailed, including a rat. The dried up pond area for this build is going to take a lot of work but I think it's going to be worth it.

I started installing the belt drive system in the Locomotive Works, today. I'll post some pictures when I get further along. Lots of measuring and measuring again, and then some cutting. At least I have a plan now, we will see if I can implement it.

I was working on some track changes today and decided to cut the base board for the Yard Tower build. This is the location where it will be planted on the layout. Two FSM kits are planned just to the right in the space in the picture. Sewall's Foundry will be just to the right and Fox Run Milling will be next door.
