Sunday Scenic Showcase December 8, 2024

My Jim Thorpe house is finally on the layout. I still need to do a few more details and a little bit of ground cover. Glad to have this out of the shop finally.

WOW! Great stuff so far!

I agree with Peter!

Last weekend I attended the Annual model Train show in the civic center In Huntington WV.  Not much scenic vendors but a few.  So I came home with bags of greenery for trees and dead tree foliage.  One purchase of a Woodlands building that I truly love.  The Meat butcher’s business called “Carvers”.  I’ve needed one for the layout as a conversation interest.
The Huntington Train Show is an old one… my father took me to see the trains in the 1960’s.  So it’s at least 60 continuous years

Nice buildings Jim.

Norm, The building looks wonderful

Great building Trainbros

Looks like a nice purchase Seth

Great work everyone. Wish I would have known about the Huntington show. I would have come down. I’m about 2.5 hours north.

This week I settled on color for my Conrad building. I got some brick mortaring done as well, placed my acetate windows, and started some window dressings. I like to use pieces of an old white t shirt to make the different blinds. I cut them, and glue to a piece of 030 styrene for rigidity. I also completed a couple of emergency call stations for the passenger station. I needed a detail to hide two IR train detectors, and that’s what I came up with. Anyway, been a good week for scenery work. Have a great coming week everyone!

Today's creation for our work-in-progress "J" Tower interior by my former French horn student and now Thursday and Sunday morning train layout friend, Ms. Zora Maya Keith.

Also, for our future, scratch-built, luxury hotel, the Bell-Hop. Note the gold buttons on his deep red uniform and the detail in the luggage.

This lady can Paint!!!!!

Wow Jim, that’s a great scene. The trestle and water look exceptional. Congratulations, outstanding craftsmanship.
