This is the backyard of an old Victorian style house that I am presently working on for the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa.The same techniques would work in G or Ho scales.

I am a man of few words but lots of pics
I quit drinking beer because the download was taking longer than the upload !
This is the diorama that I will be doing.
Ok It looks like I finally got the hang of it ! this is the model that I will be using in the diorama.
Maybe it will work this time!
DingySPHi John Sounds like a cool idea. Why 1/24 scale? Are you planning on using AMTs model of "The General"? Tom

Welcome to the board, sounds like an interesting project and it will be refreshing to see how to's and hear the point of view of a non model railroader. Lets say an truly untainted perspective.
Should be a very interesting set of posts. hope we all don't scare you away.........lol
Thanks Crandell ! I am looking forward to doing this one for many reasons, that I will explain as I go along.
Welcome, John, and good luck in this effort. Please keep us up to date with some pix.

Hi guys! I am new here but have been doing dioramas for a long time.This will be my first RR diorama and will be dedicated to the film and its director Sergio Leone.Cheers! John.This diorama will be for me! Long before other models came into my life their was my American Flyer train ,that I played with for years just on the floor, more than 60 years ago now. Sergio gave an interview once and told of how his interest in the old west was developed in his childhood probably about 10 years before mine.Like he did I went to the movies and sucked in all that old west mythology,then came home and played out the scenes with my buds or my model train. As I reach my 70's it seems that I want to re-connect with my long gone childhood and play with my trains again.
