That one is easy. The LION must scratch build almost everything. This one, in case you cannot tell, is a subway station. ☺

 


Show me some people waiting for a train.

Automn would mean the Aspens are turning gold and glittering in the sunlight. Oh what a lovely site that is, (it you've never seen it I'm sorry for your loss).

My turntable just after completion:

Craftsman kit for the bridge and a scratch-built pit.  The figure on the bridge is my indicator for the bridge polarity switch.

Nothing near as fancy or involved, but this was my first extensive timber trestle, both scratched and later stained with real creosote oil.  Mmmmmm....c-r-e-o-s-o-o-o-t-e.

Let's stick with this theme, please.

Lion's ROAR put everyone to sleep for about 6 hours. Here are some wood models on the Boothbay RR Village layout, kind of answering a request from a page or 2 ago.

The yellow house is scratch built and the garge is a Branchline model. The 3 white houses in the background are also scratch built; the church is a kit

Show me something else scratchbuilt

All of the LION's benchwork is "creative"! This piece is part of my new four track 1.5 turn helix. The next level (on top of this) is already installed. This level is fully decorated (as a subway tunnel), and can be viewed by the peeking peekers.

That's the Golden Spike Special, an accumulation of cars from friends all over that came together to celebrate the completion of the main line of my layout last spring.  Cars came from California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Germany, among others.

Show me a local doing some switching.
