The 2022 Winter Build Challenge

[Raymo]

I'm a little late this year on starting my appeal, but here I am asking you to help support the forum by taking part by doing a build thread on anything you want. The build can be anything, any size footprint, or scale. Most of us it will be the 3 scales of model railroading that most model but we've had other things built in the past. It will run from January 1st to April 15th but if you want to start early like Tom, have at it. All I ask is that you do a detailed build thread and post it to the forum. Thanks again in advance, Raymo    P.S., Use this thread to let us know what your building..

I'm building FOS Scale Models kit#2, The Red Bird Taxi and Auto Repair. The kit was released in 2002.

For me it will be something a little bit different.  A plastic kit the Judge asked me to build and light up.    I haven't started yet.  I need to finish up the FOS Yard Office No. 3 that's currently occupying my workbench.

Excellent choice, Bob! I have a few of these large Bachmann buildings as well. I'm planning to use them in my downtown Chicago scene that will be the upper deck of my peninsula sometime later. I am very interested in seeing how you will bring this to life.

Always wished they had these in N-scale

Hey Bob:

I'll be following along. Can't wait to see what you do with this one.

I'll be looking in Bob.....

[Mark Dalrymple]

I'll definitely be rolling my sleeves up.

At this stage it is looking like either a scratchbuild based on Steam Era Structure's Layflatte linoleum factory or a scratchbuild based on Jock Oliphant's Flotation mine (which is, in turn, based on drawings in the Jan and Feb issues of the 1964 Railroad Model Craftsman magazine).

Cheers, Mark.

I will be participating again this year.  I have two FSM kits that I need to finish for the Eagles Nest Yard on my layout. The icing platform and the stone water tower Since I plan on building both during the challenge timing,  I will do build threads on both so I don't have to choose.

That's Keebler, not Kliebler silly goose

Well, it's a tough decision...
I'm planning the mining complex that is to be the focus on the western part of my layout.
The biggest question is if it can be finished in one year....
It's all scratch built and will have features like an aerial tramway, loading chutes and other bits and pieces.
The inspiration is the loading operation in a video game called Red dead redemption 2!
