 I am most impressed by your scratch building. I love to scratch build buildings and by looking at your pics I could probably get some ideas from them. BTW: Nice RS11. The D&H is one railroad for Alcos.. which I envy!!Approve [^] Thanks for sharing.

Happy railroadingLaugh [(-D]

Loathar,

The mill building in the front is a kitbash of Life Like Supply House kits.  The townhouses, and stores in the middle are DPM kits.  The stores in the back corner are from Model Power and Smalltown USA.  The church is an IHC kit.  The concrete arch bridge was my first scratchbuilding project.

Art, Glad I could provide some ideas.

I like the layout pic, BUT that framed engine is one classy photo. I wait to hear what the pros have to say about the composition. Thanks for sharing. It gives me some ideas.
