Man I sure do like the water wheel building!

I thought about changing the plans scale but I haven't decided on a scale yet for the railroad. I have a bunch of buildings from my previous layout that I've been refurbishing and they are all different scales. As for the locos my Connie is 1:20 but I have several LGB 1:22. They look okay as long as they're not too close to each other.
I'm thinking about bashing a Thomas the Train engine together from one of my older 0-4-0 LGBs. That should make the little kids happy. Has anyone done that and could offer any advice ...
Thanks,
We've closed up the house in Pinetop for the winter so not much outside work there for awhile. I bought some plans from Garden-Texture and built these two structures so far.
This is a 3 shut ore tipple I modified by building with 4-40 bolts and blind nuts. Next spring I'll add the tressel to the mine elevator.
These next two pictures are of a grist mill. I'll add the flume next spring when I install it near the town. Yes the water wheel works.
As I said I made these from plans. The lumber is from cedar fence pickets just like the helix was. My next project is a sand and water station.
