Moving on to the next scene which will be an abandoned farm. During the 1930's many farms were lost in this area due to back taxes. Most of the land was bought up by bigger farms and the buildings were left to fall down. I will trying to recreate one of those.

Didn't Ol' Doc Nelson have a house on your pike?
Excellent work Buddy! That certainly gets
You have always put your own unique touch on your modeling, but it's hallmark is it's believability, and sense of purpose. I look forward to watching you progress farther "down the track".
Re: Milwaukee Road in Wisconsin, 1950's - ak-milw - 01-07-2015
You remembered, I built ole doc nelson's house about two years ago. The only reason I try so hard with my modeling is to hear you say nice things about it!

Hi,
Andy always love to see your scenes growing and the trailerpark scene is also a masterpiece of work. Can you tell me one big secret: what do you use for your toothpics grow so fast into big fine trees? I´want it to,where could I buy it?
But I think is´s all done by your own magic.Fantastic work again...
Cheers,Chris

Chris, I don't know what it is, I stick in a toothpick and overnight it turns into a tree or power pole. Thanks for the great comment, more layout to come.

One of my favorite pics on the layout......love the angle of the shot, that great yellow farm house, and all of the little things going on.
BEAUTIFUL!
