Hello all,
My plan is to build a scene in a 16 x 16(unless I can find a bigger box) inch pizza box. The scene will be built around 2 On30 boxcars from the Hayseed & Hicksville narrow gauge railroad I dreamed up awhile back. Keeping with the railroads rural nature it will be a siding with an unloading ramp/platform close to a small farmers market and a hillbilly village based on a HO punch out hillbilly village book from way back. The structures will be scratch built in O'ish scale from scraps of wood and or card stock some of the structures will be low relief or even in some cases forced perspective. I hope to have at least a station, a house and a barn with sagging roof. I if I can I will include a jug band and other rural figures. I intend to use the lid of the box as a backdrop. If all goes well it will look like a holler.
If I complete this project early, may try another smallish scene.
