 HO wood build. I tryed to heed your advice on weathering and roof lines.

This one's still on the bench,as I have no place to put it yet,please disregard backround. I'm thinking I need a diorama, Like your discussing.

Thanks for looking

Looks spectacular as is! Excellent work!Thumbs Up

I'm beginning to realize that Windows 10 and sound decoders have a lot in common. There are so many things you have to change in order to get them to work the way you want.

That's pretty spectacular.  I would add at least one figure and change the electric lines, but you are way above my skill level.

UNCLEBUTCH!

Excellent, excellent work!

I'm in the process of designing a layout. I was planning on looking through the wooden craftsman kits that are available because I love building them, but you are encouraging me to think about scratchbuilding many of the structures so that they will be as unique and interesting as yours are.

Keep it up!

Dave

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

OK UncleButch....I don't think there are forum rules about posting actual real life pictures, and passing them off as models, but there should be !  Grumpy

Excellent work, as always.  I really like the back porch/lean-to picture.

And that interior shot!  I love it! !  What stands out, is the extra "big" door sill.

Great work!

Mike.

Superb work.  The detailing is as good as what some others have done in G scale.  Amazing in HO.

Butch, That is impressive workmanship.

I am sure it will look great on a layout, diorama, or even in a display case.

You should be proud.

Very nice.  I love wood structures, especially when there are interiors that are lighted.
