How far away is the building supply from you ?

Lumber yard / hardware store is less than 5 minutes away.

Yeah, I've got all kinds of weeds and random grass patches that sprout up.i love the park and not complaining but it is a high maintenance set up trying to keep up with Mother Nature and the constant battle to re claim terrain.
This year I'm going to let more of the clover and small oak trees that sprout up live. The last few years I just ripped everything out but it's nice to have a bit of greenery here n there.

Thank you my friend. I'm really excited this season and happy with how things are looking after 3 years now. It's coming to life.

I decided to take a break from working on Foxville and plastic buildings. Finally looked at the bruder dozer I have long enough and figured it was a good time to finally bring this one to life.
More plastic work but it was fun. Lots of room in these and the plastic is tough but easy to work with. Just tested yesterday for first time and results are good. with some operating practice I think I can get this to work real well as long as the tracks last that is.

Enough talk, some pics.....





























And a few videos of first testing.

Mario, great job on the conversion, looks capable and seems to operate well.

Happy Trucking,

With the dozer build completed, time to get back at working in Foxville. Town needs a industry to keep things rolling so the factory was next up for completion.

Yes, it's all just a bunch of scrap parts and backyard debris but even scrap has a story..... The steel bins used as the buildings for instance, those are actually from Australia! Whenever a underground mining truck is shipped from Aus, they discovered a lot of the valuable items like back up cameras were being easily removed and stolen enroute. To eliminate that, items are packed in a wooden crate which placed in the dump box and then covered and stich welded with these galvanized boxes.

So like always, nothing fancy with high exact details and functionality but I think overall it turned out alright.

The windows and catwalks are made out of a flourescent light fixture diffuser. once again, something laying around suddenly has a use.


















So not too bad for about 12hrs work this weekend. That's my problem, not patient enough to do things all slow and proper. I wanted something done and built now!
