Ray; I know Jack Verducci and have seen his railroad many times; Sean is right. Your work and photography are flawless.

 

Keep it up and have fun, Rob

A Rock Shop for the In-ko-pah Railroad
Posted by Ray Dunakin on Wednesday, July 1, 2009 12:58 PM
I just finished building and installing a new building for the town of Dos Manos, on my In-ko-pah Railroad. It's a rock and mineral shop, housed in an old, false-front wood building. It has a detailed interior, complete with working lights and a lighted display cabinet. All the rock specimens are real stone. Here are a few pics: The door is a modified Grandt Line product. I added the window and an Ozarks Miniatures door knob. Everything else is scratch-built: The interior details really show up well at night. The hanging lamps were made from fancy "pewter" buttons and a small bead: I also finished wiring up the lights in the two-story house: You can see a few more pics on my site: http://www.raydunakin.com/Site/IRR_Dos_Manos.html
