Inspired by Rob.Kulz's coil yard article, this weekend I proceeded to build an intermodal yard and diesel workshop. www.ztrack.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=January%20February%202024Shapeways didn't have a suitable size gantry, so I made two myself using Fusion360 and a resin printer. The diesel fuel tank group was able to be installed on a narrow area by arranging Kibri kit. Magnorail was installed around there. It's so cute to see small cars moving. Is there any folks using magnorail for Z scale layout? Please show me yours! Best, Hideaki Attachments:

To wrap up the birthday week, I spent some time this afternoon finishing the interior on my rural T-Trak-Z module. It was a perfect day to sit on the deck and work on the module. Today was all about trees and details. I can't even tell you how many JTT trees I used. I kept the colors bright to represent spring trees. The fence is from Archistoires. Each post has a piece that was glued on. That was fun! LOL! The finishing touch is the set of Preiser cows. I love the scenes and how it changes based on the viewing angles. All that is left is the open corner. I wonder what will go there... hmmmm.... Attachments:

It's fun to work on the porch or veranda under the spring sunshine.

Saturday update for my T-Trak-Z module build. I have set a goal to have it completed in the next week. Depending how much time I have in the next few days, it could be sooner. Today was all about base color. Note the abandoned siding. This is going to be a fun feature. Time to let everything dry really well overnight. Then it is on to soil and ballast!

Sunday update... today was about the details. Inspired by the fields around Ohio right now, I decided to add yellow flowers mixed in with the spring green. A few of NOCH's new rapid-pro type pre-colored deers were added to the scene. The two spurs feature a Evans track stop (modified Rokuhan stop) and a wood tie pile from NZT products. While these are no longer available, I had a set looking for a home. Next up, is a the finishing touches. I am waiting on a grain trailer from Shapways. More photos to come as we finish out this section of the T-Trak-Z end cap module. Attachments:
