O Scale Backwoods Tie Mill

This flatbed truck which is part of The Backwoods Tie Mill was in transferred to the new forum under my Truck Repair build, so I have copied the picture to this new topic for me.

The Table Saw, Dead Rolls and In-Feed table build for the Tie Mill. The green color in the dead roller picture is not to that on the model had trouble loading photos.

Equipment construction and detailing is looking great Kevin. Time well spent on these iconic pieces for the Tie Mill.

Looking good. I especially like the way the saw table came out. Keep going…

Hey Kevin, the flatbed truck is a beauty and nicely colored.

Great work on these saw mill details.

Slow progress being made on my sleeper mill (Ties for you USA guys). Saw dust is red since railway sleepers in Victoria Australia is cut from red gum. Detailing parts in box have been painted and weathered ready to install.

Looking fantastic! Rick

Looking good Ray! I really like the tank. Nice weathering on it.

Nice work Kevin and appreciate the explanation regarding the “sleepers” very interesting. I love the weathering on the tank and your detail parts inventory are ready to plant! Nicely done.

Great update and progress. Your sleeper mill looks fantastic thus far. Love the organized parts box!

Some amazing details there. Love the wood texture and wear on the metal.

Above photos of my finished Tie Mill (Sleeper Mill for us Aussies). Will add figurers at a latter date. Saw dust etc is red since sleepers mainly were cut from red gum here in Victoria Australia, red gum does turn grey when weathered.

Hey Kevin, well done! Ties cut from Red Gum, Is that a dominant tree down there? Mack AB Looks great in the scene.

G’day Kevin, I love the red-colored wood and your tree ferns!

Yes, Red Gum is fairly common, suggest googling red gum locations

Wonderful modeling Kevin. Thank you for sharing this awesome diorama with us on the SW Forum.
