Great-looking scene, Peter! I'm pretty-sure I've seen that place somewhere nearby.

This Lackawanna concrete signal tower was built from a laser-cut kit:

Here is a model of my Grandmothers home as it was in the 1950s. It is located in Anna Illinois, with the Illinois Central "racetrack" (back then anyway) right across the side road. My fondest childhood memories were here, and this is where my love of trains really hit.
The model is a kitbash of two "Barb's Bungalows", with scratchwork done on the base and porches. The water pump and outhouse (2 holes!) were kits.
How about some more scratch/kitbash/kit items..........
ENJOY !

Assembled from whatever I could find ... ( this is why you should never throw anything away.)
More scratch/ bash or kit built plese.
Rust...... It's a good thing !
SeeYou190....I built this LITTLE ROCK AND SOUTHERN boxcar from a bunch of stuff in the scrap bin. One of your shared projects was actually the inspiration for this one. . The underframe is from an Intermountain Rerigerated Boxcar, the ends are leftover from Tichy USRA boxcar kits, and the roof is from a Red Caboose boxcar. I added a scap-box roofwalk and some AB brake details. The sides are completely built up from styrene....
That's a good-looking car, Kevin, and you've really done a nice job on it.
mobilman44....How about some more unique kit bash / scratch structures?
GERN Industries is the largest customer on my railroad (click-on photos for enlargement)...
It's a kitbash of Walthers ADM grain elevator, with add-on silos, plus their Red Wing Milling structure, along with a sizeable scratchbuilt addition made from .060" sheet styrene (which I buy in 4'x8' sheets).
The warehouse for shipping bagged product in boxcars is also scratchbuilt, using the same material, plus Evergreen corrugated siding and Campbell aluminum roofing...
The tanks for liquid products are all scratchbuilt, with the horizontal ones built using the pastic rolls from office paper, while the vertical ones are heavy cardboard tubes with a wrapper of thin styrene. The rivets were added using a dress-maker's pounce wheel...
I elevated the silos using legs built-up from .060" sheet styrene, and deliberately made them too short to allow a locomotive to fit under - this sometimes necessitates use of an idler car/cars, enhancing operations - there are several such conditions on the layout, all deliberate and all for the same reasons....
GERN was built as a traffic generator, and has proven very useful in that role. There are also about 50 GERN modellers/modelers world-wide. GERN is based on a fantasy character derived by my brother when we were kids, playing table hockey, and he supplies GERN advertising and other novelties on a "as-it-strikes-him" basis. Here are a couple of examples...
Please show me some more kit-built/kitbashed/scratchbuilt stuff. It's great to see both the creativity and the skills which you all exhibit.
Here are a couple of diesel fuel storage tanks........

Living the dream.
Built from a Bowser kit for a NYC K-11...
I added a can motor and NWSL gearbox, and scratchbult the vestibule cab over the original Bowser cab. The tender is from Tyco/Mantua.
I'll eventually tear it down and re-do it as TH&B's #15 or #16.
Show me something kitbashed, kit- or scratch-built please.
Very nice Garry. More of the same please, scratch or wood kit models. Regards, Peter
Last year I added a small scene on my current layout to include buildings, structures, and rolling stock from my previous layout which was 1900 era. The depot is made from a FSM kit. There are some Campbell kits buildings as well as others. Wood rolling stock includes passenger cars made from LaBelle kits. I scratch built the coaling tower and other structures.
Please show more scratch built models or show models made from wood kits.

This CHICAGO AND SOUTHERN boxcar was built from a CB&T shops kit. I added a completely different AB brake system to it from the scrap box, and a bunch of better details.
Please show me another kit you built of any type.

Wayne, that is a very neat car. Great picture.
Here is a nifty DIAMONDBACK AND WESTERN horizontal ribbed hopper car loaded with coal. This was built from a resin Funaro & Camerlengo kit.
By the way, the covered hopper is loaded also, but you cannot tell in the picture!

This is a really old picture. It was taken before I had my Canon SLR.
Show me another picture with something that has wings.
How about an MLW FPA-4/FPB-4 on a passenger train? The prototypes were geared for 93 mph...
However, on my layout, the highest posted speed limit is, I think, 40 mph.
Show me more non-EMD locomotives, please.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
