Miscellaneous Railroad & Other Projects

Homemade semiphore in 5 inch scale. It is ten feet to the top of the finial. This signal is manually operated and has a 12v. light which lines up with the lenses.	Harp style stub switch stand for leads to the car barn.	One of two switch stands fabricated from scrap 12# rail. Sawing off the rail head and bending what remained gives the frame the look of a casting.
The actual water tank is an enamaled double boiler for commercial cheese making. This was covererd with white cedar to give the appearance of a traditional wooden tank.	Functional 1/2 scale model of a British Garrison Gun made from a reprint of original plans. The barrel is 24 inches long with a 1.5 inch bore.	One area of my hobby science lab showing a Tesla coil in the foreground.
A painting in acrylic on canvas, just after completion. This was done for my wife at her request. The 5 x 6 foot canvas was applied to a ceiling in our home.	This is the complete fuel system for a 1902 Oldsmoble, which I made for a customer. He handed me the carburetor body with no jets, etc. and a few photos and ask if I could make everything else.	Veiw through stub switch towards the car barn.
