Diorama Concept:
Based loosely on the West Side Lumber Co car shops circa 1950.

The building when completed will house a Repair Shop, Machine Shop and a Blacksmith Shop.  The size of the building will be approximately 9" x 30" the overall size of the Diorama will be 16" x 48".

There will be twelve pieces of machinery between the two shops; made up of Sierra West Scale Models and Western Scale Models.

Pictures of the first piece of machinery to follow this post.

Jerry,  When you mentioned you were also building a planer I hoped you were thinking of a whole shop, really looking forward to this thread.   Randy

Jerry ,

   I thought you were just like me and made smartass comments about other people's modelling . But I was wrong, you do fine modelling as well . I look forward to seeing the rest of the machines as you build them .

  That is a fair sized diorama you are proposing , some people's whole layouts are smaller than that ,

As a woodworker I can appreciate a wood shop. I am really looking forward to this build. Beautiful machinery work so far.

Pat

Yes its been awhile since I talked to you about this.  Guess I just got up enough courage to go out and do it.  Thanks for the kind words.  I know I still owe you that call.  I will try this week for sure.

I Thought I was having a stroke! :o......I had to look several times to make sure what I was seeing!! ;) ;D.... A finished model...and a beautifully built one at that! I guess there are still wonders in this world (not the fact that you did a beautiful job...but the fact that you actually built a model) ;) ;D.

I look forward to seeing more of this!

  There you go , Marc , you see it can be done !

   If Jerry can finish a model you no longer have an excuse not to finish at least one of your many projects . I look forward to seeing the results with baited breath ,

Thanks Marc for the kind remarks.

It just took me a little time to get my confidence up to do this I guess.  But thanks to Marty who kept after me about posting something it happened.
