GTX,

Your trackwork looks very good, and your soldering technique is so much nicer than mine.  Guess my hand shakes too much to get such nice looking results.  Fortunately, paint and weathering hide a lot of my mistakes. Smile [:)]

Thanks for the comment, I am very new, my layout is not even six months old but I am learning this very carefully. I glad you like what I have started but still have a long way to go.

This structure is a servive station from Heljan. I purchased it in the late 80's for around $10.

 

This one has sparked some interest on some other forums. The car in the foreground is a 1/87 scale Hot Wheels Mustang. The cars lights were done in Photo Impressions IV.

 

One of my neighbors says this looks like something out of a nightmare. Look closely and you can almost make out eyes and a mouth. BTW, the structure is the Model Power lumber mill. There are three light bulbs in it.

 

Nice work Jeff! I have the same Lumber Mill as you!

"Oh! So sorry!  This is abuse, arguments is in room 12 A.......  Quite all right.  Sorry.  (door shuts) Twit!"

 

(edit)  from Monty Python Argument sketch:

Q:   OH, oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse.
M:   Oh, I see, well, that explains it.
Q:   Ah yes, you want room 12A, Just along the corridor.
M:   Oh, Thank you very much. Sorry.
Q:   Not at all.
M:   Thank You.
(Under his breath) Stupid git!!

Yeah, me too.  Your "Twilight Series" of evening shots with interior lights in the buildings is really nice.
