Reply to "What's your favourite repurposed item on your layout?"

Was looking through some old photos and stumbled across this one. The Tesla Light and Power Company started out as an MTH Public Works building, but was re-painted and weathered by Jeff Remy. Bob Armstrong decided it needed a transformer facility. The transformers are pill bottles with beads and styrene added. The fence was made from veil material he hijacked from hi wife's sewing box and some coffee stirrers (one of our favorite building materials).

 

On the interior, Jeff had placed some lamp parts (socket, pull chain handle) and other odd stuff he had lying in a junk box.

In the engine facility, a Lionel tank car body was re-purposed as an elevated fuel tank. Bob Armstrong built this as I recall.
