Mark, I am sure you could find something to do with the old house, maybe rent it?
Johan, great looking car and what a wonderful scene!
John R. I am so sorry your going threw some much trouble with your engines! But I am sure glad that your Lionel dealer has stepped up to take care of you! I hope MOM is doing well!
So yesterday after work I came home and did a little work in the train room. I was trying to figure out my building placements on the siding and I really wanted to have the Morton salt building along the very back. SO I did a little kit bashing and was able to move the silo from the back to the top which gave me a little room after cutting a small square section out for the duct work. Please forgive me Mark the Menards guy! I really like the building and knew where I really really wanted it! It was a real PIA to get the grass off of the bottom of the silo legs but I got it and went out this morning at 4AM and repainted it so it will be dry when I get home from work!
Here are a couple pictures. give me your thoughts!
Yee Ha~! It's hump day! Everyone have a great day, its almost the weekend! LOL
Mike, Renting it out is one option! Unfortunately I don't want to become a slum lord in a rural area being inundated with new construction. Besides the place needs so much to keep the modern family happy. The interior is virtually unchanged from my dad's first recollections in the '30s except he said they got their first furnace in 1936. Our daughter suggested it should be a historic landmark, but nothing happened there and on one of any notoriety ever lived there! 
On to the Morton building! You did a great job on it! Better make sure the Salt Girl doesn't spill any salt on the tracks!
