There you go.  It's the little chain icon in the menu.  BTW: Part number is SS 342 or just search for "police box".

Main industry on my (N) layout is Soylent Green. Dinner [dinner] Will also have a Farmer Vincent's Smoked Meat establishment and a Prison complete with a mote & alligators. All set in steam era, which makes no sense at all.Whistling [:-^]

I like the idea of Doctor Who making an appearance, and he certainly has the means to visit any number of layouts anytime he disires to.

My wife's (HO) layout will have a certain scene from Deliverance hidden just inside a tree line next to a river. Also a hanging tree to represent someone we both have disdain for.

Other than that, both our layouts will generally be joyful places for the wee little people to live on. Cowboy [C):-)] Rob

Here's a couple of pics of a whimsical scene on a display layout I had for a couple of years:

On my present N scale layout I'm going to include a scene using the ConCors 3 Mile Island Nuke model, with a few glowing holes in the reactor and a soothing female voice announcing "core melt down in 45 seconds, please proceed in an orderly fashion to the nearest exit.... core meltdown in 30 seconds, please ..."

I've always wanted to add a barbecue grill & associated griller on the "porch" of an SD40-2.

You know I've actually seen that in real life, a few years ago, there was a SD40-2 stopped in Wauwatosa outside the Sentry supermarket, two guys on the porch, a small grill and a radio with the Brewers game on, not too bad a setup if you ask me haha! 

Cheers!

All of these jokes and gags are visual.  I still think my "stock car with scent" joke a year ago tops them all.   You know, I smelled that car rolling by in a consist at the last operating session....

Oh, yeah. I just bearly remembered, I have a campground scene with people getting ready for a picnic, while the bears have gotten into the goodies in their pickup truck bed.

Just spotted this thread, thought I'd share my little play on words with you:

Hint:  Move the first space in the company name 2 characters to the left.
