Fine Scale Miniature Coal Dock #155

Oh my gosh, nothing 3d printed on this one!  I have been working on this structure for over a year.  I started it late last year when I spent a week in a hotel room in Joplin helping my Jason open his store, Hurley's Heroes, https://www.facebook.com/hurleysheroes.  I did the basic assembly then, but just got back to it last month.

From fsmkits.com, I assume this an original magazine ad.  I built mine turned 180 degrees.  I do have a layout plan, and a place to put this.

The box as it come, just a bunch of stripwood, templates, instructions, and

metal castings.  The castings are what George Sellios, the owner of Fine Scale Miniatures, has become know for.  I bought my kit off ebay, and there were a few castings missing, but none of significance to me.  There we a lot more junk details than I used.  George likes his junk!

Finished diorama.

It seem like you always see things in pictures that you did not see before.  So now I have a couple areas to add more weathering.

FSM Barnstead Lumber, HO Scale

I bought a used Fine Scale Miniature Barnstead Lumber kit, and I knew it was missing most of the castings, what really makes a FSM kit special.  The main building was already built, but damaged, and none of the other buildings had been started.  To replace all the missing cast metal details, I designed details, and had them printed at shapeways.com.  Some are available for sale in my shapeways store (http://www.shapeways.com/shops/nvrr49).  If you see something you want in these pictures that is not listed in my store inventory, just let me know, and I can make it available.

A general, overall shot of the lumberyard.  The main store to the left, the lumber shed in the back and a mill shop to the right.  There is a railroad spur that runs right in front of the lumber shed and behind the main store.  

From the right end, you can see the railroad siding.  The main building had one window missing, so I boarded it up.  The windows were missing for the enclosed space at this end of the lumber shed, so I designed some and printed them at shapeways.  

The store is modeled a little run down, but in the process of being remodeled.  The saw shed and lumber shed are weathered, but in good shape.  A new chain link fence is being installed to the left, and a pallet of supplies is in the main yard area.  The fence fittings we also items I designed and printed.  

There is lighting in both the saw area in the lumber shed and in the mill shop.  Here we see the mill shop which includes a 16" radial arm saw, and 16" table saw, a 24" planer and a 12" jointer.  The bench in the corner is also printed, including the details on the bench.

The saw area in the middle of the lumber shed is equipped with a 12" table saw and a 16" swing arm cutoff saw.

Here is a pallet of fencing supplies.  The fence mesh is wedding veil material, and the fittings I designed and printed at shapeways.  The fittings are cored out to accept .020 wire.

The pallet was printed, as were the two barrels, and the roll roofing is a roll of black paper.  The fork lift is an Athearn tractor, with the seat turned around, and added scratch built controls.  I designed the forklift accessory based on photographs, and printed it at shapeways.  I have not added this to my shapeways store, but if anyone is interested, I can do that.

Both the pallets and stacks of concrete blocks were printed at shapeways.

These windows were done as scenery, but could be used in a building.  Again, these were printed at shapeways.  The stack of plywood behind the windows is from the original kit, and is cut to size card stock.
