Tire & Battery Service | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Leon C.OGR Forum Member

Hello All,

After a long break from modeling, I finally got a chance to finish my Tire & Battery Service diorama (formally called the "Old Tire Shack" in a previous post). Scratch-built using board-by-board construction, resin tire castings, and various details, it finally came together. I finally got a chance to use some tall static grass too. I like the results. I plan to take a few more photos at some point soon. The building is also lit, so I plan to do some "night" shots as well.

Comments and critique are always welcome.

Happy Holidays!

It's a paper product from Wild West Models. I painted them with various rust colors...good stuff.

Sweet - nice job trying something new and being pleased with the results, not to mention finishing it. Time for a new project.

It deserves a real bull gang name. I vote for Cleon's Tire and Battery.

Vulcan Quality, outstanding!

I would just add a few oil spots on the ground.

Looks like a place that should be in Black Rock.

I just watched "Bad Day at Black Rock."
