My own Creations for train and Vehicles

I have created some of my own designs for my Model Train and I decided I would post them here for people to see.  It is a Maritime influence honoring where my Mum's family came from to give it a unique flavor in my railroad landscape.

Irving Station

Irving Gas Station Pumps

Irving Tanker Car and Gas Truck

I have an engine as Well I have designed will need to take a picture of that and add it to another post it will be in one called favorite engines.

The Best Whiskey

I had 12 of the best whiskey bottles in my cellar and was told by my wife to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink or else !!!  So I said I would and proceeded with the unpleasant task

I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink with the exception of one glass, which I drank.  I extracted the cork from the second bottle and did likewise with the exception of one glass, which I drank

I withdrew the cork from the third bottle and poured the whisky down the sink which I drank.  I pulled the cork from the fourth bottle down the sink and poured the bottle down the glass which I drank.

I pulled the cork from the next and drank one sink out of it, and threw the rest down the glass.  I pulled the sink out of the next glass and pulled the cork down the bottle.

Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the sink and drank the pour.  When I emptied everything, I studied the house with one hand counted the glasses, corks, bottles, and sinks with the other which were 29 and as the house came by I counted them again and finally had all the houses in one battle which I drank.

          I'm not under the affluence of incohol, but some thinkle peep I am.  I'm not half as drank as you might drink.  I fool so feelish I don't know who is me.  The drunker I stand here the longer I get.

The old Model Train track

When I was out at Mum's last weekend I decided to show Mattis my model train set that I was working on at my mum's when I was younger.  In time I will need to take it a part and bring it in will likely re do it though in parts as there are a few things I want to change.

I placed him on a stool and he took in all that I had designed the only thing is that the wiring underneath had been ripped out 4 years ago when my mum had a flood in the basement and I needed to rip out the carpet. underneath.

Here are a few pictures

The town square it still needs work

 

The local watering hole

In time I will bring it in when little buddy is older and we will create the scenes like my dad and I did with my first creations with his help and guidance.

I will pass my wisdom on to him and my passion so he can enjoy it as I did.  The majority of the techniques I taught myself over the years.  When you want to create something that looks realistic you notice the colors in more detail in the the world around you.

As I was packing up some of the items I forgot how many buildings I hate built that were not apart of things in the new layout.  I bought buildings and assembled them and didn't like how  they fit in to the scenes.  I did change things over time as well I had a vision that never got fulfilled.  It got left behind when I first moved since there was not enough space in my first apartment.

In time I will be reunite with my passion that kept up to the wee hours redesigning and revamping over the years.
