This is a scene from Mike Hamer's B&M railroad.

Any other timber industry scenes floating about?

Cheers...

The chubby guy you asked for is sitting at the corner table at the top of the photo with his back to the window.

So much for chubby guys.  Show me somebody on your layout who might be a movie star.

Well drat.  If you don't have a person on your layout who could be a movie star, do you have a train that looks like a movie star?

Looks like movie stars are rare, so back ti the chubby guy.

Honest Sam looks on as a young couple looks at his cars. The husband is trying to convince his wife that the sporty maroon coupe is a better buy than the older tan sedan. (This is 1950.)

SHow me someone else who is selling something

No body selling I see. Well, then, how about showing some abandoned caboose that looks like a family of racoons is living in it.

This small cement plant may qualify as a "cement works". It is  slightly modified IHC model, and it is adjacent to a slightly modified Atlas lumber yard building. 

Please show a switcher locomotive at work.

This industry, located just across the mainline from the yard, is at times worked by switch engines like this 0-8-0 instead of a road locomotive.

 Show me a diesel switcher at work!

The closest thing to a forest on the South Valley.

Show an other forest that is not a east coast type.
