Here is my newest buildings received. The Birchwood Gravel plant. I still waiting for the block wall which support the pile of gravel from running into the area of the building. In the back ground is the Farish Gravel Plant but only the main building. I also added the Cat 430F Backhoe all in Z scale. I went over board od the detail trying to get it to work. But as most people who have things designed in plastic and the support wire size makes some things just to small to keep them working. the wax is the worst thing since it fill up and hollow places where not escape hole are made.

Very nice looking items. Don't have a gravel plant on my Z layout but that backhoe is definitely relevant.

The Backhoe will be a nice addition to some I got years ago. Will order.
I need to look at more of your gravel works. I have a simple heavy resin casting on my End module that was merely a place holder for a coal mine. I intended to have trackwork come horizontally from the hillside, split into 90 degree turn to feed local dump truck fill and straight thru into the rail car filling. Some parts of the above would be useful, in a way.

I have to find time to draw this stuff up. I can barely keep up with the Niles Depot N scale layout that I am Superintendent of, making custom panels for servo and Tortoise control along with a bazillion other tasks and now tweaking up our Z modules for NTS.

Birchwood grave plant painted still working on the handrails and 4ft x 4ft block wall uses 48 blocks to complete with two left over.

Well just finish the handrails and printed a conveyor for the gravel pile 80' high conveyor. also another feller buncher a tigercat 860C, Cat 988H log loader, Burror Crane MOW flat car. Also a dump Trailer with dump truck.

Also did this woodchip burner with conveyor and working doors 69 ft. high. 123 ft. from end of conveyor to the back doors double doors. upper walk way opening for a caged safety ladder not installed. conveyor high is 41 ft. wood chip tower base is 40 ft. across. vented dome perforated. You can see the doors. received with upper handrails broken loose. easy fix. but that's one of the biggest problem with shapeways printing Z scale stuff! But once painted and repaired will look good as new!

Finished up the Woodchip burner with top side walkway and safety Ladder and bottom doors for entry.


Also finished up some more heavy equipment

Here is a set of high power line towers done in 3D printing just received the set from Shapeways.
