Hey Roo, I haven't seen that female figure before anywhere', have you modified it?  If not, what are the details...  Thanks'  BTW> cool scene'

Police work has never been tougher and more dangerous than it is today'.  Nice to see the profession being respected on our forum'... Excellent scenarios everyone'..

Law enforcement on the Del Oro Pacific G gauge railroad at the 2016 National Garden Railroad Convention train show in Santa Clara, CA (near San Jose).   This modular layout is huge and very impressive.   I count the Coast Guard as a law enforcement agency.  NH Joe

I decided to go with the best. Then I added a security guard to the Archie Harrison Supercomputer.

My law enforcement is a 5 amp variac in a case.  Used only to enforce the train speed.  In this photo it is located underneath the kids trampoline.  It is behind the AEC green tank car and the Ontario Northland hopper car.

Dang, my layout is lawless with a bunch of heathens mixed in (no church or police station)!!!

I am making ALL the females redheads though

That is such a cool scene,man. Aerosmith used to play in a similar looking barn in Sunapee NH in their very early days. Looks like the old Aerosmith venue still exists.

 

Dan, I have a friend, Don, who played with Steve Tallerico (Steve Tyler) in a predecessor band of Aerosmith, know as Chain Reaction. Don and Steve grew up in Yonkers, NY and played music together. Unfortunately for Don, he was never a member of Aerosmith, so he never made the big bucks. Arnold

There needs to be a Starbucks on the layouts. Otherwise, how can they be asked to leave?

Law enforcement and working prisoners - does this scene count?

P.S. Did we do motorcycles on layouts, yet?

I have considered tiny stone jails such as the Tom Yorke kit, but l guess the simpleist one is the Red Mountain Town one between Silverton and Ouray just north of Red Mountain Pass.  The shaft house has been restored, but the remnants of the jail, a stockade of vertical timbers, still stands.  Only a polar bear could survive a winter night in that, at 11,000+ feet.

I model 1943, and info on the Tennessee Highway Patrol during WW2 is very scarce. I know that they used an all-white paint job as late as 1938, but maybe they went to black fenders during the war, but I can't be sure. Anyway, this will do for now until I know for certain (I can always paint the fenders later if need be).

I still don't know the colors of their uniforms, though, so I have no scale troopers yet.

Really, I think it'd be highly unlikely they'd have been this far up in the mountains in that timeframe. I doubt they go up there now for anything even though it is a state highway...

When the layout was still in the planning phase, I painted a grouping of GIs, including an MP in class A uniform, but they were 1/48 scale and they're just too small for the 1/43 scale figures I have along the front of the layout. Maybe someday I'll place them along the back edge for forced perspective...

This is pretty pour of a response after 30 plus years with the department. You would think I would do a lot better that this on my layout.

I have a model of one type that I did have as a assigned unit.

I'm old , but the other one is before my time.lol

Negative, Larry. I spent 14 years in a paper mill and I don't want ANYTHING on my lay-out that reminds me of them!

Cool! D.Solomon,listed right on the label. I know this catchy song because it was on the Aerosmith box set,Pandora's Box.

Looks like some type of police action in NYC at Met Life/Grand Central Terminal buildings on the “South Fork Railroad”

Busted !!

Wow Frank, great figures and background!  I would love to see some photos of your entire layout if that is possible'.......I'm pretty sure all the members would too'......

"Okay Missy" , what's the problem?  You're causing quite a delay'... 

What the heck is the hold up''''@#$%^&*()

Traffic control responding, and he's not happy'...

Bank action.

It's almost Dream Cruise time again in Detroit. Last year the Ferndale Police blended in with a new Kustom Cruiser. They snagged these 2 guys getting it on, on Woodward Ave.

Many thanks. I originally purchased the background scene building flats on Ebay from a lady that offered a bunch of them in O,HO and N scales. The images and shadow effects are so realistic that the flats almost seem three dimensional. On Ebay look under O scale building flats.

Who makes those prisoner figures?  They are super detailed and I'd like to get a set.

Thanks
