Book 5 is done and on the way to the publisher. They said it was due to the printer in October. We'll see how that works out. This book was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. I learned a lot about marine terminals and how to model in HO Scale. I am pleased with how it came out. The book includes 11 new track plans as well as a project layout with some how-to information.Now to take a breather and then decide on what is next.
I have a few projects on the back burner for Alkem Scale Models that I want to get moving on. The PoLA layout still needs to have the Borax factory completed.
The BNSF slab cars are on the do list. I am trying to decide the best approach to modeling it. A mostly photo etched kit would probably be too light. I am thinking about spin casting some of the parts. But which ones. It will be an interesting task to design and produce.
