Looking through the window of Sam's Rock Shop, in the town of Dos Manos on my 1/24th scale In-ko-pah Railroad:

And here's a more recent shot, taken after converting the lights to LEDs. You can also see the bakery next door. These businesses are named after two of our grandchildren:

My sisters feed store on my wifes(RIP) old layout. Her business will be moving to the new improved layout, after the building is weathered, later this year. Hope my sis doesn't lose too much business during the move.Laugh photo HOscaleKathryns.jpg

Please show me a River.

PS: Howmus, did you give any thought to a weather vane?

Nope...  There is not one there today and there wasn't one any old photos of the building including one from 1909 (I model 1925), so I wouldn't want to put one on the building...  I do have some other buidlings that are not done after a specific prototype that I might just add one to....

Dragon Products on my layout is a large trackside industry that includes a track and truck scales; kind of almost hidden behind the covered hopper on the left that is being weighed.

Show me more trackside industry

I guess this is a track side industry, as I meant to reply to the largest industry on your layout, so this should satisfy both.

Great Lakes Milling, home of "Grandma Ginger's Foods", wheat and flour processing / milling, loads in and out, and frozen food products from organic suppliers, and backery goods. Reefers and tankers in and out.

Let's stay with trackside industries.

Ed, I agree with Garry, that's a great looking scene, and so is that pumkin patch, Garry. A passenger train crossing Hammer Creek in the late evening.

Show more passenger trains, please.

Ed ... Your station scene looks fantastic. The RDC looks perfectly fine to me as is. 

Here is my doodlebug which is a self=propelled passenger car. 

Please show a passenger train.

Show me RDC. B&O?

Here's some B&O activity at Union Station!

And later that night...

The RDC is from the early Proto 1000 run with the "silver glitter" paint finish. A good candidate for Alclad II, someday... Ed

per e-mail:

No, the machine shop is NOT mine, as I am layout free, but I find it most impressive. I thought others would enjoy seeing it.

Show me RDC. B&O?
