Things are stagnant in this thread for a day, then things happen very fast!

So, show me more hand tools or garden tools in use...

There are several tools inside the beat up old shed, and you can see a shovel and a broom in the scene. 

Please show some workers .

Since there has been no answer to the junction request in 24 hours, I am dropping back to the most modern locomotive on my roster.

GE C39-8's which I just acquired, prototype delivered in 1984 and are the newest engines on my roster. my cutoff is prior to these, but I use them on the club layout.

1923 , AAAAAAAAHHHH...... my favorite year for Mack Truck's.

I cannibalized a window frame from a second kit, just so I could model this one with the winshield open.
