I can't imagine working on things that small.

Keep posting pictures so I can scratch my head and say, "Well, lookie thar. Don't thet beat all."

Thanks guys, I have a box car and two jamaican stlye busses that I just started, I'm going to post them later when I get home.
Here in Jamaica model railroading is non existent. My aim right now is to expose the hobby at a high level.
So far I've met a Swiss national with some very impressive and high end Z scale locos, I might even try building some structure for them also.

Nice work. I have admiration for anyone who can do precision work in N. My fingers are just too old and stiff I think. I belong to a group of railfan modelers and we give rail gifts each Christmas. For an N scale buddy I bought and detailed an N scale garage by Depots by John, who makes intersesting stuff in HO and N (he did some of the structures at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry). http://www.depotsbyjohn.com/
It did not involve much assembly but even so as an HO modeler I found it hard to adjust to the size. Your work looks really nice.

Here's a work in progress Box car. The trucks are temporary, I will eventually replace them with better ones that has MT couplers.

This is a wooden model of a jamaican style bus.

I abandoned this sawmill project before I completed it.
