Just finished building this little critter which will serve the little town of La Milpa on the LC&P.
It's from a Dyna-Model Products Co. kit that I picked up on the Bay....

I'm thinking it could use a couple of signs...and some clutter on the platform...
I'll work on that this weekend....
BTW, that's not its location. It'll go in a spur that's currently under construction.
Hope you all like it....

Thanks for your comments....Hopefully this weekend I can get its "home" well along the way to being finished..
Larry...Go for it...!! There's no better way of building a structure, and you can get away with very minimal "painting"...

Hi Gus
That looks like a perfect addition to your layout!
Like you said, some signage, a little clutter, and it will really shine! Also, maybe you could use a utility knife and "pry" a couple of roof shingles up a little here and there.
Great job, my friend!

Thanks for the comments, guys...
I'm afraid there is no way to "pry" any shingles on the roof. They are made from a rubbery material and are all molded as one piece. They do look a little too uniform, but that's the way they're going to have to stay....

Looks great! Post a pic when you add those details and put it in place!
