Thought I would start off it just a bit past midnight Eastern time. Here are a few from my town I am building still in the trying to find the "just right look." Also, I am not sure why there is a clergyman standing on the ledge of the exotic car dealer.. Did not have the Ferrari in stock?
Is it a machine gun I'm seeing sticking out under the coat of the guy on the roof? OMG! It's the Rambo in disguise!

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
This is a Burrus Livery from Guts, Gravel & Glory I put together for a friend. It was made out of plaster which was a first for me. I added the shingles - thought it made it look better.

Great work so far all.
Well I can definitely say I've earned my stripes with this loco. right after I finished the lettering, my hobby knife fell, I jerked my arm down as a reflex and wound up stabbing myself in the thigh. Thankfully it didn't need stitches!

Jarrell ... I like that scene. It helps me to recall seeing the Southern in action years ago..
The fence is in. Now I need to muddy up the ground a little and add some more vegetation.
PRR 5506 Eastbound up on the fill. My 11 year old son John chose this for his birthday a year ago, and I was a little worried it wouldn't handle our curves, but it runs great!

By a long stretch, if this is a model, it is the best scene I have ever seen. I've been trying to determine any way that it is. Absolutely fantastic.

After a lot of saying I would, I finally broke down and weathered my first freight car. Here's my mandatory newbie rustbucket. Only half of it is finished, but I wanted to show it off.

George, I suppose it wouldn't be complete without all that nature (cows) has to offer!
Ed, I didn't even see that from my birds eye view. The poor cows would have a decent step up huh? I think I'll need to build a dirt ramp. That will give me an excuse to add a muddy trail from the cows.
Mighty Fine! yes, Mighty fine work as always. I do just have to say... grampy! You have outdone yourself! i love that photo sir!
I have been doing some work on a new "Name" Pax train for the SLOW. Can't yet share too much about it until tomorrow night, but here is a teaser....
Still very much a work in progress....

Nice scene.
Just a note. For minor truck trappings they usually don't use tow trucks. They simply let half the air out of the tires and back out.

Love the "D'Oh!" scene, Garry.
Here's mine. Number 4 Arrives.
Here's a recently completed project. This is a mid-90's vintage Rivarossi Challenger (Clinchfield version) I repainted, weathered, and lettered for the Rochester & Richmond.
