This rural farm scene started as just a way to play with stratch-designed card stock buildings (barn and house are manila folders covered with printed paper) but it turned out so nice, it is one of my favorites.

Is he delivering milk  to the farm, or picking it up?

Further out of town, up in the mountains, the brewery has been built were it has immediate access to that pure mountain spring water . . .

Of course, if you look carefully at what this disaffected employee may be doing, you might wonder how pure that water is . . .

Alan,

I am glad you started this off. It is always nice to see pictures of your layout. Ben, How come there is not a shifter truck in any of your pictures.

Great shots from  everyone that has posted this morning.

Here are a few pictures of some storage tanks I am making for one of my customers in California who is modeling an SP engine service facility. I will paint the tanks after he researches what color they were at the real facility.

Alan, thanks for getting this started this week...I really look forward to this thread!  This week's project was an attempt to inject a bit more realism into two Plasticville structures.  As you may know, the out-of-the-box "stock" structures are molded in only two colors...gray and some sort of awful-looking orangy-brown. 

 

I painted them in the standard Jersey Central structure colors of cream with dark brown trim, added "glazing" to the window and door openings, and then applied some weathering details.

• Hello Alan • leavingtracks

I am one of those members who always enjoys, seeing your layout.

Well done photography.

During trip to the Kentucky Gateway Museum in Maysville, KY in 2012, I photographed  various old buildings in the business district area.   Searching the internet, I found a 1916 postcard of one of the buildings (DeNuzie Bookstore) and decided to scratchbuild it using styrene strip and brick sheet.  I recently completed the project and have attached some photos.  Additional photos can be found on the JC Studios site.

Thanks Brian!!  You have some great photos of scratch built structures....would love to see more closeups of your station that Alex built!!

 

LMS...you built a masterpiece!  Looks like each floor has interior detail.  Any chance that you took photos during the building process....?  Sure would make a great magazine submission!

These modules are by River City 3 Railer member Walt S. He is an accomplished HO modular with a large HO railroad in his basement. He joined us early on because he enjoys the social aspects of running trains in various settings with a group. His detail work is incredible.....his trains are fully weathered.....his landscape work is magnificent. I think you'll agree!

Zett, Leaving Tracks, and Mill City,

 

Thank you for the kind comments.  I shot photos during the construction process and will likely write an article.  Below are sampling of photos showing the construction of the building front using a magnetic glue jig.
