This was an Athearn observation car, but I decided to shorten it somewhat, and it's now a "business car" for the road's executives...

Ed: "Show me another observation car, please.

A very old photo (2004-5) of Observation Car #51, part of my NYC streamlined consist. It is an Athearn BB kit with interior lighting, a lighted drum head and incorrect rear lighting. But I like it.

Another kit bashed station, please.

The main station in Dunnville is not much of a kitbash, but the doors windows are from two Walther's Waterfront Warehouse kits....

...while the rest of it was built from .060" sheet styrene.

....Show me any depot, station or signal tower, please.

The station at Lowbanks was, I believe, built from AHM's kit for Rico Station.  I switched around the walls somewhat, then painted it in the "company paint scheme"...

I'd guess that its origins are still recognisable, though, but it fits into the limited space available and appears to be well-patronised.

Wayne

If anyone out there has used this same kit, please show it to us.
