Nice job Jimmy and thanks for getting us started. I haven't had anything to post the last couple of weeks but I have wandered by for inspiration. I've never scratch built any buildings before, lots of kit bashing but not a building from thin air. This is a very compressed version of Sperry railworks erection building in Danbury - rough and a not very detailed backround building but the only prefab parts were the windows, doors and brick trim. It's built over a 3/16" foam core base instead of being braced and open inside. I still have the corners to do and some more details like outside lights.

To anyone new, here's where we post our projects. 

The loco was custom painted abd decaled, the caboose just has a decal 

I doubt Im going To do anymore N scale custom paint. Its too small. I still love T-Trak and my custom works in HO continue. 

(My Model Railroad, My Rules) 

These are the opinions of an under 35 , from the east end of, and modeling, the same section of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway.  As well as a freelanced road (Austinville and Dynamite City railroad).
