Reply to "The Scent Of Ozone..."

On a roll, I guess...

Just purchased this for $6 (no box).

SwitchTowerParts

Here's what it looks like as per the box art from a Bachmann/Plasticville kit box:

SwitchTower

(FWIW: For some strange reason, I always enjoy seeing well done box art. I like the nostalgic "warm fuzzy" I get when I see imagination-stirring box art from way back when. (Yup... I'm a weirdo.)

Now why in the world would I purchase this when I have less than a handful of equipment, and a long way off from even having a layout??

Well, I want to see what I can do with it in view of making it look "good 'enuf" for what I envision with an eye on how much time and effort investment there will be.

OH, and also, I may use the above Switch Tower on an experimental "diorama" that I'm considering undertaking. This "diorama" would be nothing fancy, just a couple feet length (or two) of GarGraves track, a piece of scrap Homasote I have on-hand (or a ceiling tile if I want to save my Homasote pieces), and using the couple bottles of Woodland Scenics "Cinder" ballast I also have on-hand (along with some other on-hand scenery odds n' ends), make a little scene to see how my ideas look "in the flesh". Plus, the mini-diorama could be used as a display base on which to place equipment and photograph it.

Hey, what can I say? It's another of them ideer's I'm 'a havin'!

I think sometimes my brain has a mind of its own.
