I have just finished building a Courthouse for the downtown area of my layout. Sorry, but I didn't get any pictures of the construction. Just used basic construction procedures. One feature is that the clock in the tower is a actual wrist watch that really works. Built is such a way that it is accessable to change the battery when required. So far it has survived two down pours of over an inch and a half each.
Please do post some pics of your courthouse!
Thanks,
TJ

That's a good idea!
Nice work!
I've been planning to use a wristwatch that way on my layout one of these days, just haven't come up with the right building for it yet.
TJ Lee Please do post some pics of your courthouse! Thanks, TJ
TJ select the word courthouse in the post the pictures will then come up.

The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.
Thanks Dave for providing info on opening the pictures. Hopefully next week the weather will clear around here and I'll get some photos of how I built the clock tower to allow for replacing batteries when required.
Great building! I like the idea of the wrist watch. I am a couple months from retiring and I was going to have a little ceremony getting rid of my wrist watch (cheap anyway) but this is a great idea. Now, to think of a use for my company computer desk... It gets replaced by a recliner in my home/office.

Thanks Jim. Still plan to post some pics of the tower construction. Seems every nice day, the CFO beats me to the camera to go along on a hike. Also working on a Jail house to go along side.
Finally got some pictures of the courthouse clock tower construction.
jack your pictures are coming up on a secure web site and not allowing me access, would you add the location, as you did on the first entry
thanks dave
Not sure what you are talking about. To my knowledge, which is very little in the computer world, I posted this latest set of pictures the same as the first set. Should open by clicking on the underllined word "pictures".
If others are have a problem opening my pictures let me know and maybe suggest a solution.
Jack
It worked for me, no problem.

ztribob It worked for me, no problem. Thanks for the pictures. Bob
Worked for me today I must of had a fat-finger day yesterday' Did u know most craft stores sell clock's that are push in ( removalable ) cheap. they are ment for use with ceramic clocks and other use's.
Dave, Think there may have been a problem. After your reply, I went back and noticed I had not opened the album to everyone. Learn something new daily.
Great courthouse! Here is a school building I did with an alarm clock -
