Three Model Power Sheds

"You can never have too many small structures on a model train layout"; well we are going to test that one out. I found this kit on ebay and for a good price.I am looking forward to seeing just how much weathering and aging I can do to these sheds and shacks. If the illustratios can be trusted there seems to be a few details I am looking forward to seeing.

Three Structures and their Details

Although all of the structures are of board and batten construction they feature different types of roofs and there are two stove pipes included.

Although the three sheds are all small they come in three sizes.

There are many details like two set of fense, a turn-stile and another item that I am not quite sure what it is. Perhaps it will make a little more sence once I have built the item.

All in all I am am happy with the three structures. I only have a place for one of the structures so far, but these shacks will all have a place eventually.

The Philospher's Stone

"Freemosonry, like Noetic Science and the Ancient Mysteries, revered the untapped potential of the human mind, and many of Masonic symbols are related to human physiology."

"The mind sits like a golden capstone atop the physical body. The Philospher's Stone. Through the staircase of the spine, energy ascends and descends circulating, connecting the heavenly mind to the physical body."

  • Before the end of the world God shall create a great flood of spiritual light to alleviate the sufferinng of humankind
  • Before this revelation is possible, the world must sleep away the intoxication of her poisoned chalicy, which was filled with the false life of the theological vine."

Miniature Oil Tanks for Six Foot Flats, 2 varieties

If my maths are correct this tank can carry approximately 32 gallons of liquid, which in this case is oil. Its diamter is 4.85 foot and its height is 5 foot. I built these miniature tanks to sit on a six foot miniature flat car.

The Order Eight Franklin Square

The Order Eight Franklin Square

"One of history's best known magic squares is the order-eight square published in 1769 by American scientist Benjamin Franklin, and became famous for its inclusion of never-before-seen 'bent diagonal summations.' Franklin's odsession with this mystical art form most likely stemmed from his personal associations with prominent alchemists and mystics of his day, as well as his own belief in astrology, which were the underpinnings for the predictions made in his Poor Richard's Almanack.

Will's Kitbashed Sheds

This is the Wills Garage, one of the three projects I wanted to complete. I have mixed things up by using some of the supplied parts. In addition I used parts that were in my inventory. I chose a different door for the office structure and a different roofing material for the other.

Since the two structures will be placed side-by-side I chose to use only one of windows. A three sided building will be added on the right of the office.
