For this week, my BOTW is a metal Statue of Liberty that would work pretty good as part of some building or something in N or H0 gauge, maybe.

For my BOTW I'm going to post the buildings I picked up at yesterday's train show: a Life Like sealed-in-box KFC, and an Atlas Twin Engine House and 19th Century Church.

Getting my town together, a few buildings at a time.

Yeah, that is pretty cool. Especially with the people.

I notice there's a figure sleeping right on the station platform. Do they make HO homeless shelters?

Okay - so you need an HO homeless shelter with a clothing drive.

Never have seen that Tyco version of train station before.
Quite cool. And now I feel like ice cream. Worked in a BR
in Palo Alto back in 1980 and served Al Pacino a pistcachio
cone, this shortly after "Dog Day Afternoon" came out (a
gritty film about a bank heist gone bad).

I think my station is the older version
Cause the station later had the Discover America billboard on it
which I want

Also the BR was going to be a 7-Eleven but never made it past the prototype
Which is why I want 3-4 unassembled BR kits

(would've posted that day, but I've been away a while)

Now all you need is the matching truck
Found this at the flea market, along with a whole box of other Road Champs semi cabs and trailers for 25 CENTS apiece

That's incredibly cheap, man. You've gotta love deals like that.
