Here's another truck. Made from an Athearn Freightliner.

The crew from Shocker's Electric is changing out a grain bin blower at the Co-Op.

How about some more trucks.

Looking for another active loading dock scene...

The Burbank Depot is modeled after the prototype where I use to hang out and watch trains. Way back in the 1960s I took measurments of the depot and built it in HO Scale some 40 years later.

 

 

Show me your favorite industry on your layout.

My favorite scene from the Boothabay Railway Village layout is the shack with the checker players on the porch, and the beat-up pickup truck with junkyard doors in front

Show me a red locomotive

I know this doesn't count but this would be a great model...

Its the Horseshoe Bridge in Perth, WA. There are shops on the inside of this historical establishment. It carries traffic over the Perth Railway station. This is a modern image from a few years ago.

This is and image from the other side in 1919.

Cheers...
