There is that little Atlas station that shows up on so many layouts. I was given it for my 50th birthday it was the first structure I built returning to the hobby.

 

Please show me the first structure you built for your current layout.

Please show me the first structure you built for your current layout. 

My first structure is a bridge. A BLMA kit that going in the desert scene by the principal highway.

Bridge

It was place on the layout then removed for scenery application.  Sitting on the VCR for 3 years now.

 

Show me more first built current structures on the layout.

Ed: "More scenes showing your first layout structures, please."

My two-stall engine house, an IHC kit, was the first structure built for the Black River Valley RR. The water tower an Atlas kit, soon followed. Both structures are still on the layout.

More scenes with first layout structures.
