Oh, what do you mean, 'late'? Hah! Five days is plenty!
So, what is the contest this time? Ah: "Take a car, old or new, (the junkier, the better) and bash it into something else."
A car to begin with - check. An old, junky passenger car from some old train set.
Something else to bash it into - this will be an improvised signal box. Something else, after all, doesn't limit this to running cars, right?
What has been done: Disassembling the car, building a structure for it to stand on (random block of wood and bits of styrene) and stairs to reach it (scratchbuilt from bits of styrene). Painted a little bit.
What next? Detailing, painting, installing lights, adding a sign with the name of the accompanying station.
