My BOTW is Doug's Drugs by Tyco. Quite a bit of painting detail on this one... Will add sidewalk people & other detail when I work on section with this building...

How did you notice that?

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."

My BOTW is a basket case roundhouse I got last weekend at an antique store. In sorry shape to be sure but all the bones are there and I think I can make it look decent.

I agree with the BUSS. It is all there. It never was put together well, so it is coming apart. It once reassembled will make a good 3 stall roundhouse.

I'm going to disassemble as much as I can and then rebuild it properly. I jumped on it at $10, these things are priced like gold on ebay.

Line side shack on the El Paso Model Train Club. The diminutive structure
dramatizes the heft of my friend Harald's Big Boy (Athearn Genesis, I think)
under RC control easing down a 1.5% grade on the point of a coal drag.
