Finished pump house and condensate tank
Marker Light
The tubing and support structure are
plastic styrene. The pipe details such as 90 degree elbows, flanges, gate valves and the pump and motor assembly is from Plastruct.
I kit bashed my switch stands using Central Valley's stand and Cal Scale marker lights. I then added M V Products lenses to finish it off.
I started with one of my Roundhouse Harriman coachs which has custom detail.
I added electrical pick ups to the trucks and soldered power leads.
The end result. Go to the Video section to see the light in action.
