Windows The windows are plastic parts and finely detailed. http://stlandh.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/IMG_1229.jpeg The windows fit very easily and are a press fit into the walls. http://stlandh.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/IMG_1230.jpeg This shows the windows weathered and minus glazing appli...

Primer for Walls In the Bar Mills instructions it says to use a primer to seal the wood surfaces prior to painting. http://stlandh.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/IMG_1195.jpeg In the past I have used Halfords Grey Primer because it is relatively inexpensive and is easy to use. And in this case I am...

Reinforcing the wall sections before painting. The first stage in joining the main structure wall sections together. http://stlandh.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/IMG_1129.jpeg A strong joint here is important even though the wall will be reinforced from the inside. http://stlandh.com/wp-content/up...

Challenge 2016 - Peter Bowen - HO Whitstones Brewing Company
OK I know I am too early for the 2016/2017 Winter building challenge but I just could not wait any longer and besides I had a request from a Canadian friend who has asked if I could build a Bar Mills HO "Shipyard Brewing Company" kit for him. My friend wants the signage to be replaced with...

Re: Challenge 2015 - Peter Bowen - HO Roundhouse
Further research on locomotive service facility buildings - these taken at Cadrail shops in Montreal: The front end of CP 8646 was damaged in the derailment in Caron, Saskatchewan, and shows the subsequent fire damage. Two locos derailed and many empty tank cars. The GE has arrived at Cadrail for re...

Roof Repairs... This is the gap in the front roofing panels that needs to be repaired: http://stlandh.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_8592.jpeg I needed a thin shim of styrene but did not have any so I thought of using a plastic page protector from an old report. http://stlandh.com/wp-content/upl...
