Hi Jim


Thanks for stopping by the thread and the kind words.  This model has lots of details to add so I will be at it for awhile.  I plan to install it near the trestle.

John, since you are reversing everything on the Chippy Hollow structure, why not the name? Say some like "...Chunky Bump...", just saying.

Chippy Hollow may get a new name as well as a new look on the layout - thanks for the suggestions.  I will let you know when I have just the right one.    Thanks for following the thread. And sorry it took so long to get back to you guys - I didn't spend much time on my computer at the EXPO.  I sure came back ready to get back to work on the layout.

Thanks Chris - I just got back from the EXPO and I'm all fired up to get going.

[S&S RR]

I would like to thank all of the forum members that came up and introduced themselves at the EXPO - it was great meeting some new members and renewing my friendship with those of you that I have know for years.


Another great EXPO - thanks to all those that worked so hard to put it on. My head is about to explode was the comment I heard most often while I was at George's Franklin & South Manchester.  I know how you feel my head is about to explode with all the new ideas that I came away from the EXPO with and want to implement on the S&S Railroad.

John it was great to see you again at the EXPO.  We had a lot of fun in a short period of time.  I think I owe you a build one of these days.     What the heck, I don't have a layout of my own so I might as well store my builds on everyone else's layout.   

If I wasn't so busy trying to absorb everything on the FSM I think it would be fun just to watch the expression on peoples faces as they round that corner and enter the layout room.

I had a great time with you guys at the EXPO.  We need to do it again. 


You don't owe me anything, but it would be a great honor to store one of your builds on the S&S Railroad . I have a long list of projects.

I got back to work on my Chippy Hollow build today - I added the dirt to the base so I could start adding detail castings and the stairs and ladders from the platform to the ground. Pictures after the glue dries.

Here is a progress picture of the Chippy Hollow Build.  Glueing the cranes in place.

Well since winter is back here in Michigan - I'm getting lots of modeling done.  Here are a couple of progress pictures from my Chippy Hollow Build.  I'm also working on the benchwork for the helix inside the mountain - my back can take a couple hours at a time working under the layout.




Test fit of the platform roof - now I need to add the tar paper before I glue it in place.

Wow,Nice work on that Chippy Hollow Build. Looking great.
