River and Western Railway
Woodsfield
Yard History & Modeling Opportunities Clinic
by William Logan - March 24th, 2012 - MNGS The
Woodsfield yard was the original terminus of this narrow gauge railway starting
in 1879. The Depot and yard evolved throughout the 52 year life of the
railway. The
Depot and many other railway structures have now been documented in both photos
and scaled architectural drawings from beginning to end by the author for both
understanding and modeling. The
yard and structures are adaptable to many narrow gauge modeling opportunities
beyond just the OR&W. This clinic will show in drawing and photos both the
opportunities and historical changes that took place.
Roger
Mailnowski
will
be
conducting
a
Hands
On
clinic
"A
different
approach
to
layout
scenery"
or
"An
alternative
to
plaster
scenery."
How
I
built
my
layout:
metal
studs,
fiberglass
hard
shell,
foam
and
resin
rock
castings
from
silicon
molds.
I'll
provide
a
small
module,
say
24"
x
18",
with
the
fiberglass
hard
shell
installed.
Then
demo,
hands
on,
the
mold
and
cast
process.
Followed
by
blending
the
castings
together
with
Sculptamold.
If
possible,
after
letting
that
all
dry,
on
the
second
day,
I'd
like
to
cover
painting
the
rocks
with
airbrushed
acrylics.
Finally,
we
could
in
some
way,
give
the
module
to
someone
to
take
home
with
them.
Maybe
the
title
could
be
"
A
different
approach
to
layout
building
and
scenery".
After
the
show
a
lucky
winner
will
get
to
take
the
module
home!
