Thanks for the compliment, but I'll have to confess that it is one of my eBay purchases that I doctored up.

G PaineOn the Boothbay Railway Village layout, as guests walk by the fishing village, a sound effect of water, bell bouy and birds plays. Turned on by a motion detctor, and off by a timer
What! No fog horn. My wife is from the south coast of MA, misses the fog horn during a snow storm.
Have fun,

Western scene
The request was for something that makes a sound and does NOT run on rails.
Ok, time to give up on a western scene.
Show me something that makes a sound and does NOT run on tracks.
A trestle ...
Please show a western scene.
Nice work everyone, & thanks again for such an interesting thread, keeps interest & stunning models & photography alive.So, here is a unique trestle I made on the Plastic base of those common Dispay Bases/Covers. you can get these in different lengths & this is is what happened when I decided to cut the center out. Yes, the Acrylic cover will still fit it, but I do not display it that way.I placed it in front of my other display diorama for the background effect..We used to have quite a lot of these in small creeks & waterways in So, MN, & NE IA, many are now older & newer steel girders & now concrete retrofit rebuilds.
Since I already poted on this Page, I will honor the request & let it roll! (I also had VW's, ha hah).Please Show Me Another Trestle!
Here is a VW bug at my rail fan site:
Jake and Jim who are always camped out at the Redwing Mill's picnic table are joined by another group of rail fans.
How about a trestle?
Remember its your railroad

Humor? Maybe these industries qualify - the Stave Brothers Cooperage (barrel factory) and Spock's wingnuts. Here are their boxcars:
The slogan for the wingnuts plant is "Bigger ears for a better grip - It's the logical choice." The company founder is an eccentric fellow with rather prominent ears and upswept eyebrows.
Show me a Volkswagen.
How about 3- 2nd generation diesels? Crusing around the Timonium show with 65 cars in tow!
Show me something humorous on the layout!
A couple of mockups in this photo. The large grey box in the upper right is just that - I have not designed a building for that location. The smaller white building by the tracks is a DPM modular mockup of Lacy's Variety which is almost done on my workbench. There are also a couple of Photoshopped "mockups" I am imagining for future buildings to complete the Central St city scene
Show me second generation diesel(s) working hard at something
Duh, does a cardboard mockup count as a scratchbuild? Mockup is of a home built ca 1880 one-half block north of Texas Mexican Railway tracks in Corpus Christi, Texas. Tracks have been gone over 50 years but house is still there, now used as lawyers' offices.
Show me a mockup you have placed on your layout "until"....
BRVRR George, I ordered a couple of Palace Car Co.'s Streamliner Coach kits, #9607, which fit Concor 72' dome cars. Since the Athearn Dome cars are 72' cars I thought it would be a close match. Although the supplied seating is for the lower level of the coach, the weight, platform dome deck and lavatory portions are adaptable to the Athearn model. I had to extend the deck about 3/4" beyond the recommended 3-1/2" to clear a couple of interior interferences and accommodate the staircase. Since I don't intend to finish the lower coach section I used 10 of the 16 supplied seats in the dome section. They are a little to big, but will serve the purpose. Here is a photo of the progress on one car to date: The value of the kit to me was the coach seating. Now that I know what to expect I will just order the seating in the future. The bulkheads are .010" styrene. The general layout is available on line from many sources. To be fair, I think the Palace kit is a practical way to get the basics for conversion of the rather sterile Athearn BB cars.

Great detail for a dome car. This detail will add a lot of detail to a good looking car.
You might try using Alclad paint to tint the windows on your dome car. The pictures below show the Alclad tinting. It is easy to use and gives domes a good tint look.

The two cars below compare with and without Alclad paint.
