CP on the Lyn Valley & North Western

 Repairs are being made to the CP main line and 9122 has asked for passage rights across CN's main line through the Lyn Valley.



CP 9122 preparing to leave the yard.



Under way.



Passing the tower and the locomotive repair facilities.



 

Past the main office buiding and 9122 is almost ready to cross onto the main line.




Through the crossover and onto the main line finally.



Here 9122 is passing the Ethanol plant.




The site of this abandoned cabin would make a great place for a railfans cottage!




Lots of widlife to be seen along this stretch through the Lyn Valley.




Not a lot of activity at Inukshuk Mining today.





Crossing the trestle in front of Inukshuk Mining.




Through the tunnel and onto another towering trestle.





Prepaing to enter the snowshed at Cornelius Slide.




The bridges never seem to end in this part of the country.





Rumbling past Great Western Caboose Camping Adventures. This is a great spot for railfans who want to get away in a caboose for a week to do some camping, fishing and railfanning.



Yet to be named Manufacturing

Dug out a kit I've been meaning to put together for a while now. The Atlas Middlesex Manufacturing Company. I had originally planned on kitbashing it into a background flat but the brick detail along the roof is different on the back of the building and I found a better spot to put it on the layout anyway.


I did'nt really care for the color of the kit so I painted it a light brown tan color. Here is a picture of the inside walls where you can see the original color on the right and the color I painted it at the top of the wall on the left.

After painting the walls I added "Roberts Brick Mortar Furmula". It turns out a little too cementy looking but a thin was of A/I later tones it down nicely. I painted all the windows and doors camo green.

Here is the building after adding roof details, loading dock details and weathering. All I need to do is add some signs and give the building a name.
