Northwoods - That is Department 56 "CITY HALL" #5969-2, from the Christmas In The City Series.  I needed a suitable stand-in for the Alleghany County courthouse.


From the archives.

I still see this building offered at YORK.  If you gotta havit, I can see what I can do this spring.  I am a big fan of the Blueboard Central.

Great photos this week everyone.  Thanks for posting.  I enjoy seeing what others are doing with their collections and layouts.  Its a highlight of the week for me.

Gregg, I didn't see any of those bus stops at Lowes this year.

Doug,

I didn't see any of these bus stops in any retail outlet either this year.  I ran across them on ebay and bought several of them to add to the Blueboard Central.

They are by Lemax and the packaging shows the date as 2009.  I'm not sure if that is the year they were produced or if its just the year the box was printed. 

 

They have a lot of hot glue material on them.  I wouldn't pay a lot for them if you do see them. 

I have kept track on ebay of the price of the Subway entrances that you sent to me last year and I have to say that they have really escalated.  Thanks again for helping me to procure them.

Fife,

I always enjoy seeing photos of your layout.  The inclusion of your furry friend is a wonderful tribute.  We lost Rufus, one of our Airedales, at about the same time that you lost Lassie.  I've been looking for a suitable representation to put in town.  I really like what you did.

I'm curious about the building with the green roof with the clock tower.  What building is that, and can you show a better photo of it?

Keep those photos coming.

Chuck,

What does it say on the side of your box truck sitting beside the John Deere pickup?

Love the orange and blue.

Nothing really new so I dug into the "archives".

The MunicipleTransit Company here in town decided to provide some shelters for folks riding the bus system.  They have constructed a few around town, with more to come if folks like them.
