Karl, That is a really top notch job. Based on how yours looks I think I see one in my future.

Hi Dave:

Thanks for the pics of your model. I see what you mean about A long ramp. My friend can add that when he installs it into his very large layout.

Thanks again Karl

Hi All:

Got some more work done on this guy. Track is laid, ladders are built and installed, and all the NBW castings have been added over 300 of them. On to painting and installing the cast metal details. Here's a few pics.

I'm glad you didn't mind my posting my model to your thread, but I thought it helped everyone understand how this would work on a layout.  It's interesting how close our models are in coloring.  (I used "Weather-It" by the way.  I'm not sure if that stuff is still available.  HunterLine Driftwood stain is pretty close to that color.)

HJi Dave:

Nope didn't mind you posting your model at all. All my wood is stained with 2 teaspoons of black India ink in a bottle of rubbing alcooal.

Looks great Karl.  Very nice weathering.  Dave, you're right, that kit is huge!

Karl, sorry to bother you again but what is the height of the track from the bottom. I have a 40 inch run up to a coal trestle now (nothing near this nice). I would probably not use the part to the right before the open trestle.

Hi Curt:

From the base to the top of the rail is 3 1/16ths inches.

Karl,

Wow, that is a great looking coal dock. The weathering looks like it is old but not ready to be abandoned.
