Jim, that is a really handsome diorama!  Scratch built, I assume! 👍🏻

@Jim Teeple - You are one of the best, and might I say prolific, modelers on this forum.  I've admired them all.  Curious: are they all for your layout or do you sell them?

Here's my picture for a day  This ceramic Santa House cycles thru 7 colors, if activated to do so.  It also creates a water based "chimney smoke" effect.

Walt.

I am at the point where there is no room on the layout.

Some are kitbashed others are scratchbuilt.

I build them to occupy time during the winter when I can not be outside.

Jim, I’m impressed with your skills you have honed over the years.  The two small buildings with the framing inside really look great!  Isn’t it so good to have a hobby that can keep us busy over the northern winter months? 👍🏻

WOW @Jim Teeple, what a beautiful set of  buildings!!!!!  The interiors are so well made too.

Jim, that's a great looking building..wish I had one on the layout just like it!  I can tell the lumber is premium grade SPF and the plywood is 3/4" AC Exterior...

Really great lighting on this one Paul. 

A variety of buildings ,trains and other models make a layout look good but the different lighting on this one really makes the scene pop sir. 🤓

I did too.  How did that happen?  Of course being from Pennsylvania, I thought Nittany Lions.

A little mishalp by the North Main Street station...the town "character" flipped his '55 causing a chain reaction...!

Christmas ornaments make nice car loads.  The first car has a pair of Chicago style hot dog loads.  Second car has rocket Popsicles.  Third car has Snoopy's doghouse.

Looks like a lot of assistance is going to get this mishap cleaned up in a hurry Paul.   NICE scene sir.

That’s another wonderful building, Jim!

Careful of the ballast'..

I don't remember who on this forum showed us how to make this, but I made one thanks to him.
