This week, my BOTW is an H0 scale switching tower that's currently the group's but will hopefully be mine once we decide what to do with all the other buildings (including that one). I was thinking about using it on my H0 scale switching puzzle that I'm currently working on.

I'm doing a rerun here as I'm still dragging along on this section. Sadly, only about 5 minutes a day...

Gary you have taken Plasticville to a whole new level. Love the look. And also the asphalt pavement, looks like it just rained.

I'm glad you guys like my 'model' home. Next week I'll show off the under construction homes awaiting buyers in Phase II of Pasticville Estates. Later the completed homes of phase I.
Oh, and the pavement is just Rusteum semi-glosss black sparay on cheap floor tile the houses sit on.

AURTOWN School. You will see it looks a lot like the Tyco machine shop. Aroura made the original building as a school.

That was made by Aurora first?Very interesting, although Tyco's done the same thing quite a bit over the years of it's existence.

yuppers Aurora as a school originally

Tyco Machine Shop was a prebuilt model
