Hood's Creamery Diorama

This months RMC has my article of the creamery I built which has found a home on Bill Moore's layout. Bill recently sent me a few photos of how the work is going in placing the module into his layout...George Dutka 

By coincidence, I've been working on installation of your model the past couple of months. It's going very slowly, but I'm almost there. Slowly, because I am recovering from lumbar surgery in September, and the project has turned out to be more complicated than one might imagine. I wanted to keep your diorama intact as much as possible, while at the same time incorporating it into my operating scheme, which entailed installing a double-passing siding and a short stub on the opposite side to serve the ice-house, which in turn took a bit of planning and modifying the bench work.

Right now, I'm replacing the FastTracks switch in the foreground. I built this on an ad hoc basis but it is imperfect, and I want to replace it (it's a long story). I'll start to scenic the area within the next week or two...Bill Moore
