* Walt that is a very dangerous train crossing. Especially in the fog as you photo shows the flashing lights are not working. On my layout I have no crossings. The little people live in a area stuck between the railroad tracks and never cross them. A very closed society. Everything is delivered by train.

My latest procurement for my "diabetes" rolling stock.
Needs a little TLC, but a different one.

Yes, it's pretty dangerous there Frank! I'll eventually get the flashers working correctly but I need to buy a flashing unit and a couple of train detector sets that control the flashers as a train crosses. I'm a little nervous about doing much on the layout right now as there's some serious discussion going on here about moving to Arizona possibly soon...

Nice diabetic piece Old Timer. What is the manufacture?
I've never seen that one. Roundhouse, maybe?

And Chops wins the cupie doll. It is a roundhouse. Found it on ebay while I was
cruising around looking for a stock car. First one I've seen as well.

I see the previous owner of that Cracker Jack reeder didn't snip off the excess nylon thread after using it to make the trusses.

Here's some other Life-Like Campbell's set pieces... The three without lights come with the Campbell's train set. The 4th one (bottom left) is from the more common lighted billboards offered by Life-Like.

LOL! Zelda jumped on me the other week for posting in too old of an OTW string! LOL! Told him, calm down, it's all good.
I noticed your AOTW in the COTW post and laughed...
