My BOTW is a new Tyco Stock Yard... Don't see this kit everyday. Considering a farm on my layout using this one, last weeks farm house, Tyco Barn & Silo... My ex wife bought a lot of farm pieces for the "future layout" at the time...

| Nice building Walt and some neat accessories with it, such as the windmill.

Not quite sure what to do with this paper village. Thinking of making back drop along three perimeters of the Tycomania Layout. Anything know much about them? The insert mentions a fax number, so that puts it at least into the mid 198O's, and no email address.

Neat find actually. What I think you should do with it is build it and put it on a layout.

| Hmmm, well KovacsteOO on the strength of your experience, maybe I'll do just that. They won't blend well the Plasticville, however, but I certainly have a certain degree of awe regarding your own work...

My BOTW is this Marx HO interlocking tower. It was originally baby blue and I painted along the way.

Here's another cool find I got for my train layout:
Yup, the famous HO-scale Pizza Hut building kit! I got it already assembled, and it sure was worth the money. I'm thinking of lighting the interior as well (though I am not sure how effective it'd be with those shades on the windows!) I believe mine may be the A.H.M. version: on the bottom there is a copyright to Pizza Hut from 1984, and it says it was made in Denmark. (Did both A.H.M. and TYCO's versions have the same copyright stamp?)

Can always scan it and print it if you want to preserve the original. That looks differnt from the paper village I have, though, were there multiple styles?
Anyway, I'm going to be cheesy and post my scratchbuilt coal depot here that I already left in Barry's thread over in Structures. (LAME AUTOBUS)

Nice looking model! I like that sort of timber construction and that short line sort of equipment.
Carpe Manana!
