| The wooden decking is down on the top of the dock. I think I'll put some down the center of the dump track with gaps for the chutes where I have already cut out the ties. I also added a spotlight at the south end of the dock. |
Very little time to work in the last month or so. I had a chance to sit down yesterday and knocked out a bit on the ore dock. Almost done baby, almost done! In the last post I mentioned the need for a tug boat as well, so I purchased one from Model Tech Studios. It was easy to build and looks great in the scene. I still need to attach some line between it and the Ana G., that it's assisting into the harbor and up to the ore dock. Here are a few new pictures.

| The aqua colored painted steel super structure of the dock has a ore dust patina on it. Each ore chute has an individual motor and cable attached to the trough. You can also see a side shot of the spotlight at the end of the dock. |

| I'm thinking about adding some overhead wiring above the ore cars and maybe some sort of maintenance workers shed in the middle isle between the 2 dump tracks. |

| A close up of the un-named tug. I'm open to suggestions for a name. The kit has a lot of detail parts to it and is very easy to build. I love the small ropes and tires hanging off the side. |
