These views show the northeast corner of my 10’-by-5’ layout. This was the last unfinished space on the layout, and just the brick building, from a kit by Itla models, was built for the corner. Then, Trainworx offered the kit for the New Haven Railroad control tower, and I had to include it on the layout, so I crammed the two buildings into the corner. The tower really doesn’t belong there, but I like both buildings.

I'm currently working on a retaining wall and wooden tunnel for the back left corner of the layout. The walls are paper prints which I've added balsa to for dimension. I have the walls and tunnel portal done and will start on the rigid foam carving for the hills next. I hope to build the whole thing on the bench and drop it onto the layout since it's a long reach and it's hard to work over the layout.

These are great. I have a bunch in diecast and have been fabricating some container trailers, but have been having a hard finding the wheels. Where did you source the wheels on these?

Thats a really nice version of the Olympia Tool and Die kit! Is that a plaster kit?

You can get 1:50/1:48 scale wheels from Don Mills Models on da bay or
Maguiresmodels.co.uk in the UK which will have more parts/options in 1:50 scale.

Steve. You´re welcome. I am happy to see them. The box car with potatoes looks just amazing.

Thanks. The kit is from laser-cut fiber board. When painted, the texture looks just right for brick.

Bossman,
I will go back and look it up. I think I may have stolen them off of one of the first gear trucks I had.
Great work guys. I especially like the scratch built and kitbashed projects. Much better than a display of commercial items. Keeps your hands and mind working.
