****, you guys are good! The stuff posted here provides enough inspiration for a lifetime of modeling. I expect to be examining the artistry displayed in this thread for a long time, and hope to some day create something worthy of display. Thanks everyone!

This one is in its infancy but when completed I think it will be my new favorite

You won't see Frank. He was banned from this forum last year. Over a war of egos. I don't know who won, but the forum lost.

And that's all I'll say about that.

I don't know about favorites but I've been quite fond of this for a while.



Now, where's SIRT?

V,

Hope you got my message LOL

That's one of my favorites of yours too.

Always reminds me of that movie Green Fried Tomatoes.

David

I also kind of like these.

Again...beautiful pictures guys!! OK...here are a couple of more I kind of like. I am getting close to starting the super detailing on the layout so these will look different as the next few months go by....








Thanks,
Alan

And thanks C Sam. That Jaguar represents a personal story: This beautiful young lady was supposed to meet me at a small stop in New Jersey. But she missed the connection. so I raced the train back to Trenton in my vintge XK 140 Roadster to go pick her up (yes, I know the model is of a 120, but one can't be TOO picky, you know). Worth the trip. We have been married for 34 years and counting.

Vulcan, thought this was supposed to be a thread about favorite modeling scenes, not real buildings

A busy day at Plasticville's Frosty Bar:



J White

Her is our Ameritowne that I just finished last month. and Cody's Cold Storage our first scratch build. We do not have a lot of buildings done yet and we are still learning.

Here's one of my favorite places...









Frank

I am partial to that Interlocking Tower that shows up on the current cover of OGR, Run #255.

Donald

Man!,

The talent here just blows me away,so many nice scenes and so much hard work.
Thanks to everyone that's posted pictures.

Got any more????

David

Anything on Jim Policastro's layout.

Vulcan that is some insane work. Is that a red apple on the floor of the shop. You always have great work to show and motivate, at least me to do finer work. Thanks for showing, Nick.

Nick, I could say "yes, it's a red apple" or I could say, I believe it is the out of focus handle of the radial drill in the foreground.

Vulcan, I think Nick is referring to the red circular thing on the floor in front of the green machine.

Vulcan I did look closer and it is a red handle. The stem lines up with the planks in the floor. I just seen the apple produce box by the machine then a red dot on the floor. If not you can say a mouse was in the shop taking apples out for food. Nick

Hey PRRfan, Nt only is the shed a perfect treasure, the whole vista across that end of the layout is very enjoyable to see. Who could resist wanting to see more when visiting here?
Frank

Thanks, Frank. That end of the layout did get some more scenery later on.

Come guys. I've seen a complete lack of Milwaukee layout here. Don

No Milwaukee , very little Santa Fe,NKP,N&W,Southern,UP,SP,WP and very little NYC is this all there is??????????

Don't hold back show us what you've got uh...Please!!!

David

OK, I drank a couple of Milwaukee's Best while I was working.

Gotta know were did you get the gas station? Was it a scratch build or a kit?

I've got about everything now but a gas station and people are starting to complain about having to walk everywhere.

David

I scratch built it. The original had three bays and was in Palo Alto, Calif. I found a old picture of the station and liked it so much I decided to build it. The best gas station kits are made by Berkshire Valley Models http://www.berkshirevalleyinc.com/buildg1.htm
They also make a 30's gas station. Don

Nice Don,

I hope theres a new layout on the horizon for you after the site seeing wears off.
Just remember when your at the point at the beach where you need glasses don't stay out there till you go blind LOL .

David

Good grief, there's a lot of beautiful stuff here!

DPC thanks, here's a shot of the interior:




Much more here: O Gauge Washington Union Station

Nice Packard dose it have any bullet holes?

Like this thread a lot. So many great scenes to study and inspire. Here's a couple more that I've always liked.

Jerrman

Guys,

my favorite scene is where the hobos all hang out together and plan their next meal.....or where they can "lift" it from.
