This photo shows the southwest corner of my 12’-by-8’ layout with an Atlas O USRA 0-6-0 steam engine model of CNJ #107 on the O-72 outer loop. The building at left was built from the “Yard Office” laser kit by American models. The brick building directly behind the locomotive is from an Ameritowne plastic kit. The building at far right is also from a kit but manufacturer unknown. Although I sometimes build from scratch, I prefer to build kits because I don’t enjoy searching for and ordering parts from which to build a model – although I often substitute parts that I have on hand for those supplied in kits – most often roof shingles, chimneys and brick foundations.
