The AF talking city station w/ station stop and record player still alive inside but with more blue collars than previous eras and the tiny switch tower are favs.JokerDepotIMG_20180911_151457~2

HVAC is a Tyco whistle billboard. the rest is pipes, pinstripe, floral wire, inner tube, matchsticks, and a retro style box of Cracker Jack. Home made tell tales w/cotter pin fingers.

The worst bridge ever, sw. tower leg is on the left, Pure spur of the moment rookie expementation with foam. I thought about concrete footing, but went another direction on a whim. It has a emery cloth roadbed draped over a few kabob sized dowls and jammed into foam. Still not bad enough to bother to pull off mine. This cross view is seldom seen.IMG_20190404_012841~3VladsYard

Ball is a lightweight wood knob, base brass, tack vent- drilled, staple/pin bead handles and pinstripe lid seam trim. Glued now but was actually pretty stable. The house for this yard is an over scale cardboard craft store item, just brown paper look... not here... next time. 

The roof, box lid, are wood. I of course added the Flag, flag light sconce(laser pointer lens cap, inverted) It's wired from roof to pole, then back down at a Guywire angle into a hole in the ground to go under the rails vs over them. It's also in the far corner obscured by a pulp paper 0-31 tunnel and El. line. Dusting is a huge job. Hard to get there and leave it all standing and clearanced ok.
