Layout Pictures

The Picture below are from the layout while it has been set up at the store.

This sight was made possible by Ron and David Johnson, two of the members of the BLN club. Only about a month ago, the floor up here wasn't even visible. There was stuff piled chest high in all directions. Thank you to you both for all your hard work.

 

Here is a view of Procrastination Yard. The five tracks to the right are going to be Procrastination Station. To the right of the modules will be another two foot wide section containing downtown Procrastination as well as the Procrastination Urban Transit System, PUTS.

 

This is Procrastination roundhouse. I still need to add a concrete floor and interior details but so for it is looking good. The paint shop will be to the left of the round house. I'm hoping to get it installed in the next couple of weeks

 

This is one of my latest Projects. It has working headlights, taillights and a flashing beacon on the roof. I'm still not sure where it will go on the layout.

 

Here is my first ever attempt at building a dump truck. It is a Alloy forms kit with chains added to the rear door and a scratch built canvas cover. I actually made the canvas roll out of a paper sandwich bag.

 

Here we see the dump truck in it's final location looking like it has seen years of faithful service.

 

 

Its a sad day In Thompsonville. Old man Sedgwick passed away on Tuesday while trying to use a old mattress as a make sift raft out on Lumpy Lake. Police believe alcohol may be involved but those who know him said he was just a moron.

 

Now what's this? Why Old lady Sedgwick is getting married! Her late husband's body isn't even in the ground yet. I can't believe she left her husbands funeral to get married, something smells fishy here.

 

Here we see our local hippies, Dink and Doink Filtzwater hiding from the cops. I have to thank my cousin, Inglis Tucker, for the fabulous paint job on the car. I still need to install the smoke unit in the car.

 

Here we see New Haven 0-8-0 #3404 leaving the coaling tower and heading for the turntable. I'm hoping to have this entire area finished soon.

 

Here is New Haven #3404 again after moving BLN plow #1 to the end of the southern drill track in Procrastination yard.


 

Here Is a better picture of BLN plow #1 as it sits at the end of the southern drill track in Procrastination yard. Everyone is careful around this car cause it's believed that one good sneeze could destroy it.

 

This is the Lee King Grain Company in Thompsonville. Eventually there will be an abandoned box car rotting away at the end of the siding as it sits in the weeds.

 

Welcome to Lumpy Lake. Captain John J. Smith was out in his yacht today when his wife, the honorable Judge Millicent V. Smith removed a piece of duct tape that was stopping a leak in the hull. They plan on resurrecting the yacht and making it seaworthy again. On the shore the Hapsworth family doesn't even seem to notice what has happened.
 

  Here we see one of the last moments the Smith family spent on board their yacht. Captain smith was heard yelling from the shore but the language he was using is not able to be written down due to the fact that after censoring the only words left were a, the, pickle jar, forthright, and cheese eating cocker spaniel.
 

This morning when Arthur and Mildred Tuttle decided to go for a romantic boat ride down the river,        neither one of them remembered Putrid Falls. I'm not quite sure but I have a sneaking suspicion that they may remember it now.

 

While out picking flowers for his girlfriend, Frederick Slocum looked up in horror to see two of his friends about to plummet to their demise. Unfortunately, It seems he was so engrossed in picking flowers that he failed to notice little Bertram the bear and his mother come strolling along. There is talk that his girlfriend had just given him some new cologne called Springtime honeysuckle. Not exactly the best choice with Bertram around.

Here is another shot of Putrid Falls with BLN #0900 heading to Brownsville with a couple of cars that were left in the yard by mistake.

 

Welcome to Sleep Hollow's south end. This is where the Bear Mountain Ice Cream Company is located. Here we see BLN #2100 leaving after switching the plant.

 

Here is another view Of Sleepy Hollow's south end. Officer Arthugula is out stopping speeders today but he isn't likely to get anyone as the covered bridge has stop signs at either end. I guess he just needed somewhere quiet to eat his donuts

 

Here is downtown Sleepy Hollow. There isn't much to it except for the Cunard Lee Rolls Royce dealership, the Sleepy Hollow part time volunteer fire department ,Auntie Q's BBQ and some old guys antiques. The street in the picture is Bank street, known for it's seedy characters. As everyone from the area knows, if it's illegal, you can find it on Bank Street.

 

More Pictures to come soon.....
