Harbour scenes are invariably interesting, and when done by a craftsman like Pete, with a good knowledge of both trains and ships, the results are outstanding. Schraddel Wrote:But astonishing for me you are using German buildings
Not so astonishing at all, as there are so many nice ones available. With a few detail changes, they look good on just about any layout.
My Lowbanks locomotive shops started life as a Vollmer roundhouse:

...and the shop superintendent's office is also from Vollmer:

The car shop is, I believe, from Kibri, or maybe Brawa:

This freight house, still under construction, is a kit from Kibri:

...and the crane at the Dunnville's Walnut Street team track is also, I think, by Kibri:

I have several more, a few of them not yet built. Most of them are well-made and with a few detail changes and some paint and weathering, they look suitable in almost any setting.
