Hard to follow Trainman with anything!! His stuff is over the top, 3D printed, greatness.
This was my first serious build, over 30 years ago, for a huge attic layout. It now resides on my current table layout.
This is my last build. The 6 game machines are 3D printed in gray plastic by a guy in Winsted, CT. The details are photos and paint. Sizing and cutting all the cabinet art took some time.
This Nathans was made out of the tunnel insert from the brewery behind it.
Figuring out the proper angle of that hip roof was a doozy.
The Lionel model of the Irvington factory, was much too large. This modified version has the Miller Engineering roof and window signs, but the window sign is on the left, out of sight of the camera.
The mall, like many others, was inspired by OGR posts. The shops are lit from above, and also from cutouts of the foam behind them.
The theater covers a large speaker box that opens into the rec room. You can see the large wires going to it.
This little scene models my basement rec room, with the large bar, pool table, stools, and game machines. Those are actual mini-arcade games, fully licensed, completely playable, with original sounds and graphics. They're out of scale of course, but the marquees light up and they look great.
Years ago, I needed a station to support the trolley line above. Given the dimensions, all I could do was cobble together scrap materials, including a large bathroom tile for the floor. Although completely crude, it has grown on me. Haha.
There are many more, but these are some of my favorites.
