This week, my BOTW is an H0 scale water tower I made for my junk/ghost town section. Here it is.

MBN5. The only building pic left in my phone and I'm in Tennessee... So here's the Baskin Robbins Ice Cream store.. Thinking of some better detail for this place. BR colors are louder than what this kit offers...

The Pola Exxon Station building kit, as offered by I.H.C.!
Love how the box actually resembles the TYCO building kit box style, too. How long did I.H.C. sell these anyways?
It'd be nice if someone like Walthers picked up these buildings and bring them back...

Rather nice bit, evokes desolation, lonliness (or maybe I need to double my dose). Is that an English steamer poking her pretty face into the picture?

No. It's an old Red Box Tyco booster in US Army livery I got at a train show a few years ago to function as an abandoned engine.

I really like that police station. It shows how a "cheap" kit can be dressed up to look amazing. Life-Like was underrated.
