Your Layout Vignettes

I agree, Irene's shot is great!

With all the coal and oil cars coming to Momence, looks like long cold winter is forecasted.

Several members have been working on a harbor and the subway but just this week we've gotten lights to the urban area. Thought I'd post a few random shots around the 'city'

 

Harold's Circus added some ground cover with the road consisting of dried (real) Buffalo chips. He has a small herd of about 20 American Bison on their ranch here.

Hi c.sam

     Of the seven photos you posted, this one is my favorite.

 

I like your city scenes....Where did you get the Subway entrance, ????

Li'l folks at-play in the neighborhood...

FrankM, having a good ol' time of it...

If your are interested, the bus is on the wrong side of the loading dock.  The front door should be at the sidewalk and the front bumper at the yellow anchor.

"Looks like we'll be working the weekend boys"

Lionel fastrack track gang with buro crane as part of the scene.

some kit bashing to form an industrial scene. Water treatment system servicing the power plant and food processing plant. More detail to be added to this scene later.

Ha!  Thanks for the heads up Bill Robb - I'll pass that on.

 

I forgot the basketball game in progress! Member Jerry's contribution.

In the beginning................ (it took more than 7 days)

Turtle,

Awesome!  There is nothing I like better than following a new layout from its conception.  It looks like yours is going to be great. Please keep us up to date.

 

You might consider starting a dedicated thread (if you haven't already).

I agree start a separate thread and keep us up to date with pictures when you can.  Looks very good so far.

 

Art

Nice little scene. With 4 more players and nobody at the hoop,

this could double as a set from West Side Story!
(Just not sure you will find a 1/48th lady as pretty as Natalie Wood)

Frank M.

Thank you Frank!  Your vignettes are so much from ordinary life, that makes them so special!! 

 

And the ones called Transients!  I love it!  Yes, that is what they would call hobos today.  There are 'transients' who camp out along the Bessemer and Lake Erie and the Buffalo and Pittsburgh in Butler.  Last spring I could see a tent for several weeks along the tracks.  It was too close to the creek, good thing there was no flooding.  Good fodder for a vignette for my layout when I build.

You're a fun guy, Mark. Have I told you that? Well, ya' are.

Thank you for taking the time and having the interest to say you have liked my stuff.

FrankM

Frank,

Thank you for the compliment.  I was a shy kid, and it took years to come out of my shell.  Now that  I'm older, I have to make up for lost time. 

 

You're welcome!  The way I look at it, if you took the time to post photos and writeup on your modeling, I can should spend a little time letting you know I appreciate it!  I'll bet it would take quite a while to look over all you scenes on your layout!

I can almost hear the falling water...(maybe with a sound module)? my friend and talented scenery guy, Todd Gamble (Sceneryartist on the forum) came down from Seattle and helped me with the start of this new vignette on my layout (fingers in pics #2/3 show size relationship since it's a small falls). where the water calms down and widens out (not visible), we'll have canoeing, fishing and small boat dock. Thanks, Todd. Great job!

Jerrman

Jerrman - Wow!  That is a great job on a hard to model item.

 

Art

thank you, Art. it is a real credit to Todd (aka Sceneryartist on this forum). he takes his time and I learn a lot (and take notes), and helped out where I could. it looks equally good in person.

Jerrman

Jerrman, that is truly fantastic. Modeling water is one thing but I would not have thought this was possible. Also, I can hear the water running . . . looks cold too!

       
       


thanks, Scott. Most of the credit goes to Todd. he has a great eye and keeps at it until he feels it's right. I just follow along. I'm glad he's also out West (Seattle) so I can learn from him, not to mention improving my layout.

The subway has picked everyone up and is leaving the platform.....going home after a long day in the city....
