January 11, 2013 The Kingstone Model Works web site is getting an update and some remodeling. All of the construction projects will be presented
here instead of being uploaded to forums. It's a waste of time and duplication. March 21, 2012 On Monday, June 18, 2012
the "Kingstone Model Engineering" site will be shut down permanently. This site will take it's place and be geared toward my favorite subject - Model Railroading.
March 22, 2012 Moved the "4" Truck Shay pages from the old web site to this site. Still lots to do to fix up errors and update the Shay project
pages. March 26, 2012 Uploaded the first of a series of projects for a Walthers Rotary Dumper. I have modified this dumper so that it will work with two bay
hoppers up to quad bay hoppers. After this mod the dumper, I believe will probably not work with the wood chip gondolas or the bathtub coal gondolas used in unit trains. I'm
thinking that it could also be used as an On30 dumper to transfer bulk loads to standard gauge line. You'll find the project under HO Structures. March 29, 2012 More added to the Rotary Dumper page. March 30, 2012 Added first HOn3 page. The fixing and finishing of a Clear Creek Models D&RGW Gondola. April 3, 2012 Added more to Rotary Dumper build. September 3, 2012 In an effort to get a model railroad built I've decided I need to put the four truck Shay project on hold for an indefinite
time. Also the On30 projects have been moth balled for now in an effort to build an HO scale layout. I've been working on several HO projects simultaneously, the rotary dumper,
the electric box cab, a set of FT's A & B units, and several other's I haven't even had a chance to post to the web site. I hope to catch up on the projects and get them posted
soon. I've deleted the links for the On30 and O scale projects for now and I'm going to concentrate on HO models. The projects that are being worked on now will
go in conjunction with the layout. The new home page will reflect these changes. More to come, so come back often.
September 3, 2012 Added a new page.
