Well Dave, it's like this.  (You have a sharp eye, by the way.)  The owner of that little shack advertises "Beer-Worms-Hubcaps" and, needless to say, is a little eccentric.  So his transportation of choice is the WWll Nazi vehicle.  For further developments see pic below, where the law is about to bust up a frat party.

Great image Sam, coming along very nicely.

I wonder how many don't have layouts and could use a club near them?

Having our 1st Open House in this facility Saturday Oct 5th. It's behind a Sagebrush Steakhouse and has a small local brewery a few doors down!

Larry Yes.  This coming Saturday to be exact.  It would be nice to see a few Forum people show up!

 

Our home layout was featured in one of the magazines in their October issue and I thought I'd post a few photos that were not shown because we didn't submit them.

 

Suggest you right-click and view images in new window. Then you can scroll larger pictures.

 

First is similar to the cover shot w/out the 'clutter'

 

These PA's are done in the Denver & Rio Grande 'Aspen Leaf' scheme. There are HO and N scale models available but I'd never seen one in O so we painted a Williams Warbonnet and rebuilt the fuel tanks to avoid the 'high-water' look of the stock Williams diesels

 

The handsome viaduct that creates the two approaches to the T Reproductions Hellgate Bridge were custom built by Forum member Tim W (I love bridges) and span almost 14 feet.
