My current WOW factor is the newly completed (95% anyways) bar. No the train does not deliver beverages yet... I need to make some 'beverage transport' cars first.

Any my future WOW is going to be the Joliet Union Station. I am hoping to put a lot of time into this over the next few months and am aiming to have a basement grand opening event around Thanksgiving.

Frank - Thanks for the compliment which means a lot to me coming such a master modeler.

 

Guy - Your saw mill model is awesome!  Fabulous interior.

 

Zett - Beautiful job on your bar and your Joliet Station is fantastic.  I love scratch-built models of buildings like this.  Can't wait to see it finished and in person.

 

Enjoying all the great pictures of your "wow factors".

Just me being a buttinsky.


Steve,  I meant what Art said more clearly. Not only is this a nice job, I think it is unique.  I don't remember anyone else doing a wetlands scene.  Real wetlands and swamplands like your scene are very common in the south.  Pat B.

Lee - While I agree with your assessment, don't overlook the "wow factor" of your SuperStreets and how you have integrated it so well into your town.  And I love your open countryside with SuperStreets running through it.  When I see vehicles that can't be bought running on your streets I say wow.

Thank you, Alex and Joe! I really appreciate your saying so.

 

I sometimes wonder, when I am passing through the trainroom on the way to the garage, if I over indulged myself with having the size layout and number of trains that I do.

 

However, every time I wonder about such things, my wife says, "Nnaaahhhh," and encourages me to keep on "playin' trains," as she puts it. It helps that so many friends and  relatives enjoying sharing them with us. She also likes my involvement in our hobby via my little business of Layout Refinements, which includes playing twice a year by participation at the TCA Meet @ York, and traveling to clients - more time at play.

 

Work is good, but play is better.
