Very nice Frank. Looking at that I was surprised to see a third rail! The scenes are quite realistic.

2 rail aren't the only ones that can model realistic Smile

I've been testing the waters in G scale. You have to admit, those germans have a way with trains. Laugh

My latest O gauge purchase from MTH.

 Thanks Jeff, I will get it some day. But I do love the SPF because of all of the great ideas it can give all of us.

 Thanks Bill!!!

I can't believe there were no comments on the Batmobile ( It is a Bantmobile, isn't it?). Anyway it's way cool Frank. The style of the Bar is also great vintage 40's? 50's? Where did that building facade come from?

Always love your stuff, of course the earlier post in this week's SFF as well.

Thank you. It is a Batmobile advertised as 1930's era. 

The Bar is a Downtown Deco Bus Depot - long out of production, but there are still a few around out there. It is enhanced with Miller Engineering Neon and some brass canopy frames made by Andre Garcia. I need to rename the place and make more believable canopies.
