Alan, if that is scratchbuilt, you must have started it at age 5. Very nice, John!
My younger grandson and I did some train work yesterday. We wired the lights in the Gravely Building and the watchman's tower.
The white LEDs are very bright. Almost too bright compared to the incandescents in other buildings. The unlit building in front of the subject building is not in its permanent location. It's a place holder for the Night Hawks Cafe that will be scratch built for that location.
Because this was a built structure that I bought, I had to install the light from below, but it still works.
happy Sunday!
Alan....if you are referring to the train shed, that is a version that Jim at Bridgeboss and I came up with back a few years ago when Jim was introducing his train sheds. He allowed me to do some custom designing so over a space of a couple of months or so, he and I worked made changes to his design to fit what I wanted for the layout.
Thanks,
Alan
Alan,
I am glad you started this off. I am working for the wife today painting the living room. Here is a structure I constructed some time ago.
Great work everyone.

Wonderful weathering job, Joey.
Just completed a factory front which will go on TMB Club Layout. The front is a full 4' wide and all windows and bays are lighted. Also some photos of the harbor scene that has been developing. As luck would have it a rock crew was busy installing rock around our trestle. Also included the images of the control panels we will use to run the main lines
great photo's as usual
Nice work and nice weathering!
Some old photos from my past life in On30...
The station began life as a Lionel Rico Station kit, The little 0-4-4 was based on a Bachmann Porter and all the other railcars were scratch built from styrene. The little boxcab was also scratchbuilt over an AHM/IHC HO power truck.
Wow, Handyandy, that is spectacularly realistic!
handyandy - My Mother always told me something like that that about my brains, without the slow one. I assume you photographed that outside because of the background. If that was a diorama, it's spectacular!
Everyone else, you never cease to amaze!
Summer is nearing its end, and the the temperatures waning, sidewalk dining becomes the thing on a cool Sunday afternoon.

Wonderful weathering job, Joey.
Thank you, PTC!
This was an old 30" door that I built my first On30 layout on. It was a simple little switching layout that I soon lost interest in as I couldn't really run the trains. I kept it for picture taking while I built a 4' x 4' circular layout. These pictures were taken out side with, of all things, a 3.0 mp Vivatar digital camera I had back then. The door has since been converted to a portable O-27 layout.
As for that being me in the pictures. I wish I was that thin! LOL
