Vignettes

Great theme!

Sully's Tavern & Morrison's Doors Factory:

Too many to count... Here are some of my favorites.

Scratch built realtor sign... My sister-in-law just sold this property.

Scratch built Hot Dog Stand (including the hot dogs and cokes).  Looks like the uniform has to go to the cleaners again.

Awe Lady, your car door just hit my Mustang.

Extreme skateboarding on this hill.  Skateboard made out of RC plane parts.

Fixing the floorboard as the cow watches.

Why are those two wearing coats in the middle of the summer?

Insert hose B into connector A.

Big Foot is interested in this camper.

Fishing at the creek.

I like Hot Dogs too.

Well, here's a few from my village.

Nice vignettes everyone!!  Here are a few from my layout.  Click on image to enlarge.

The mighty loggers.

Country road hosts a motorbike.

Rock guitar player.

The sidewalk cafe.

A little more...  Banff Springs Hotel Alberta, CA

A Koresh my ex made one year for a Christmas church scene

Very nice photos everyone.

Wood, I have a similar fishing in rowboat scene with figures, which I believe is by Woodland Scenics:

Patrick, I plan on looking for loggers to add to a vignette that will include both Postwar Lionel  log loaders #164 and 364: the long one for a single track and the other one that goes between 2 tracks. Will post a photo or video of the log loaders later.

Yes Arnold it is the Woodland Scenic boat and figures.

Speaking of lumber yards, this is my scene with the 164.

I hope that boater is "tethered" to something while conversing; otherwise, he goes over the falls.

FYI. The "WoodMizer" is a portable sawmill.  I bought this from the company and it is a 1:48 scale replica made by Norscot.

Wood, you got the right nickname, going all out with your loggers, lumber, and log loader scene.

Today I placed my 164 log loader facing the opposite direction from yours, and have it dump the logs into the single track 364 log loader.

I think your 164 looks just as good, maybe better. I may change off having it face one way for a while, then the other way.

I also think that accessory goes well near the 97 coal elevator.

Here is my multiple log loader and coal elevator vignette:

Log loader combo in action:

Nice job. Your 164 looks great, it's always been a noisey beast.

IMO, the noisier the better, which is typical of Postwar accessories. That includes the 97 coal elevator, the 182 and 282 magnet cranes, the bascule bridge, etc.

Plasticville along the river:

Another favorite vignette of mine:

From my 1993-2003 layout......this is right after we found out that Lionel was moving production to China.

Another vignette with the Postwar accessory that, IMO, has the most play value.

Love the way it roars when running it.

This may be the only vignette of its kind: Popsicle Stick Polo Grounds:

The inspiration for this was to add to my layout features of The Put, with Yankee Stadium on the Bronx side, and the Polo Grounds on the Manhattan side, of the Harlem River in the vicinity of the Sedgwick Avenue Station, the southernmost station along The Put.

The enclosed screen-capture image shows the vignette of the "Double D Brassiere Company" -- from the 2007 VIDEO of Rob Mueller's former Pine Summit RR, that was located in N. Central PA.

Unfortunately this layout had to be dismantled when Rob got divorced.

• (As far as I know, the divorce didn't have anything to do with Rob's choice of vignette interests .)

This scene can be viewed at  https://youtu.be/B8BWaO3Y9gA?t=493  (the 8:13 point).

• Rob narrates during the video -- telling the history and "mission statement" of the business.

Still working on this but one of my closest to finished models.  South Street Diner, built from the Lionel Diner kit.  Detailed with 3d printed details and hand painted figures and lit with LED tape light.

Lots of great vignettes here.  Some new and some I recognize.  I like them all.

Busted!

Both sides of the tracks:  " The saints and the sinners."
