A cement and aggregates business is a great choice. I don’t know anything about south west railroading but here in Ohio we have the W&LE. They have access to several quarries and an extensive network of aggregate dealers to deliver to. Big business for them with long trains and regular runs.

There are some quarries in New Mexico. There are several cement businesses all over New Mexico. I would have like to add track work that would serve this industry, but no room for that. Thank you for watching!

I just started using Valeho for my CN Tower project, I must say they are really good ! Low fumes, good coverage and very little drips.

Sick! Yeah I really enjoy using those paints. I want to experiment on some rolling stock next. Thank you very much for watching my video!

Great build JT! I am working on the same kit but mine is taking months to finish, I keep jumping back and forth between multiple colors. I really like how you weathered the model. Are you going to add an interior in the office? Cheers Brian

Thank you very much! I know what you mean. I got some new structures from Summit Custom Cuts and I’m on the fence about some colors for the hotel I’m going to build. I am thinking about it. I found a ton of cool stuff on Etsy and eBay. I might just scratch build some desks and chairs. Are you going to add an interior on yours?

[@INKDRAILS]

@@modelrailroadingthesouthwest Summit Custom Cuts have some very nice kits I want to buy as well. Yes I am adding an interior to my office, I placed an order through Shapeways and just waiting for my items to arrive plus I need a light for inside as well. I will be posting an update on my Construction Complex soon.

@@INKDRAILS I haven’t built anything from Summit, the kits look much more involved than a Walthers kit. I hope mine come out decent haha. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you get from shapeways? I’ve never used them. I looked at their stuff, but I’ve been a little apprehensive about buying stuff from there. How do you like their stuff? I’m looking forward to seeing your new video.

[@INKDRAILS]

@@modelrailroadingthesouthwest I ordered some office furniture and some mechanic tools. Once my parcel arrives it will be part of a mail call video and I will be able to show case all the pieces I got. I really like and recommend Shapeways there is a huge selection of pieces to help bring any building or scene to life! I will keep buying from them for sure as I need a lot more detail pieces!

[@modelrailroadingthesouthwest]

@@INKDRAILS Nice! I’ll be sure too look out for that video!
