 Let's see how you use your figures creatively to make scenes on your railroad that are fun. I'll start us off.  All of the photos are Iphone shots I worked in Photoshop at 300 dpi.  Big doings in Munoz . . .

Scrapiron mate.

I hope I am not intruding on your thread I apologise if I am.

To illustrate what I meant about colour here are two photos taken from the same place in the room the tracks in the foreground have not changed.

One shows before the Mill lots of figures, cars, colour, then after came the Mill sort of like in reverse of the real thing, not sure I should have posted this makes me sorta sad the colour has gone I miss those Hot Rods.

When I get to old to operate the trains I'll rip up most of the tracks and build a Casino where the Rolling mill is !       Roo.

Johan Shark Bay gets better with every photo you post.  The detail is amazing, the switch tower is a prime example.

Roo, you're a much stronger man than I being able to dismantle such a wonderful layout to start all over in a totally different setting and making the new layout just as good as the old.

Joe: Thank you. I think Shark Bay is not never ready, because always comes new ideas.

A couple of scenes from the logging area on my layout.O scale horses pulling logsO scale horses pulling logs 3

Now this is cool. A bunch of years back my coworker was telling me about one of the people he knows that has Belgium horses and this is exactly what they are used for. He had said that you would think that with all the modern technology we have, that this would have been a thing in the past. The guy he said is always having his team hitched up and rearing to go to pull logs out of the woods. Prototypically fantastic I say. Awesome Karl.

Who made the Quonset hut? I assume that's a kit?

It is a straight-out-of-the-box commercially available model that I got at my LHS, several years ago. I did weather it, though, according to how I imagined one might get to be. If I recall correctly, it was made by MTH.

Thanks, Frank. I need to look that up to see if I can find one. I have a similar hut on my own layout but I never liked the look of it as it's a Nissen hut, something you'd find in England and only big enough for a bomber crew to sleep in. I really need something that size for administrative people to be placed in for even a small unit HQ:

 

DAVE NYC HUDSON PRR K4, glad you enjoyed the photos from my logging scenes. I assembled the horses from kits made by Berkshire Valley. I liked the fact that they were kits, since I could adapt them to my particular needs. In this case, I made some rigging from some scale chain and also made some logging chokers around the logs. The "logs" are actually some branches from my back yard.

Frank . . . . I never see enough of your scenes !!

Hi Eliot, Thank you for being so kind, and I'm so sorry if some (many? all?) of the photos I have offered here on your thread have been repeats of details I have shared on other previous threads on OGR. I tried not to do that but simply lost track of all of those displayed in the past and was hoping you would be happy and that fellow-participants on this forum who had not seen various shots previously would find something interesting among them. So, I am grateful for what you have said here and hope that if any further photos from my files are repeats they may continue to be welcome and useful.

You have started a really interesting thread, here, and we all seem to be having a good time sharing what our imaginations and memories have brought forward into our modeling for our layouts.

Thanks, again, for being so laudatory and welcoming.

Be well and prosper, always, Eliot.

I once had a military base on my layout here is part of it the NISSAN hut as they call them in Australia comes from England as a kit.

Oh, that's nice too. You don't recall who made the kit, by any chance, would you?

As for single figure scenes:

In the bottom photo, a guy leaning on a shovel next to a huge pile of cinders (with a bucket full of the same right next to him, to his left). Now, why a person would be scooping cinders for personal use in WW2-era Tennessee mountain country, I have no idea. I just liked the way it turned out, as this scene is nowhere near any other structures of figures.

You totally deserve the accolades.

Your work is truly impressive and I really like to see anything new.
