Sunday Photo Fun - 7/30/23
Posted by fifedog on Sunday, July 30, 2023 7:22 AM

Straight from my workbench (Bar) to the layout, is the newly refurbished B&O Queen City Hotel/Station. It was scratchbuilt of cardstock many decades ago, was collapsing into itself, and was bound for the dumpster when I saved it. I gave it a new roof and cupola, and truncated the front porch to fit its narrow 3 inch wide "shelf". I'd say it is slightly bigger than HO scale, and looks ok behind the S scale train in the background.

I've been working on collectiong New Marx passenger cars.  Here are a few of the cars that I have added so far.

 

These are all convention cars using the bodies of the Wells Fargo cars.

That building looks fantastic there!

Your scenery is always excellent!
