Have a great Independence Day holiday everyone!

Every first Saturday in the month we run trains for the public at our storefront in our local mall.  In July, I run my TCA Bicentennial set, with a couple of added cars.  So, on Saturday, it will get its annual run.

Happy 4Th!

Take a moment to remember all those that lost everything to give birth to our great country!

My usual suspects for Independence Day.

I don't have any patriotic trains and my layout isn't even close to complete having started it over after a move last year BUT I have been wanting to pull out a few people and something other than pickups to populate my towns. So, today I give you a 4th of July parade along Main St. The crazy thing is that when looking for every day parade loving citizens, I discovered that I have an abundance of track workers, station personnel, construction and city workers, dock workers etc. It's a good thing that most of my layout will be industrial.

Happy Independence Day!

Great scene! How tall are your band people? I cannot find an O Gauge Marching Band.

Thanks! Right now they are 1 3/4" BUT what look like red boots are the posts for mounting them and are about 1/4 inch making the marchers a scale 6' which isn't bad. When I first started collecting whatever I could get my hands on about 15 years ago, I came across this band which appears to be made of wax and I assume is for decorating cakes! For today I mounted them into foamcore. Not sure if and where they will be once the layout is done but they will be fun to bring out for holidays along with the firetrucks.
