Ralph's scratchbuild 2014 summer challenge

[Steamtrains]

I added stairways. To reinforce the idea of never throwing out anything that might be model railroad related, the top part of the stairs was originally from an old Model Power coaling tower I had as a 12 year old boy.

Ahaaa..!! So you are a hoarder too..!!
I've got stuff from when I was about the same age...And some that belonged to my old man, which makes it about 60 years old...

Definitely guilty of being a model railroad hoarder. Eventually those little doo-dahs and widgets and tubes will be useful for SOMETHING!

In the last series of pics I was doing a photo experiment to see what kind of windows looked best on the background station. I made them using Microsoft Word tables. It seems to me that the darker window panes look better...so I made more....

I like it.

It's neat to see complementary structures
That's really, really good work Ralph....
