My BOTW is a Bachmann Shell gas tank sound building in H0.

Life-Like Police Station with front and rear pics. Note the modified RED Tyco blinking traffic light on right side of lower photo.

I will eventually buy a real camera to take these photos with. A use solely a cell phone to do my hazy pics and have to mess with adding and taking away light for a decent pic. It's like the front of the police building is on fire when it doesn't really look like that. I have the hotwheels video car that I have never used yet.
I want to get better pics so chops can enjoy them more....

Walthers kit I bought already built. Has a complete interior as well. I will add lights and little people to complete the scene.

I want the Joe's Diner that the Mod has 
lots of diners were built out of old passenger cars, diner cars or even trolley cars! 
the coolest one I saw was in a toon show called Gravity Falls
their diner was on a flatcar with a HUGE giant hollowed out Redwood tree

I have that same billboard, Walt!
Lovely diner, Ray. Lucky that the builder gave it an interior and left access (unlike the past owner of the Athearn streamlined cars I got for Christmas, who completely cemented the snap-together cars -didn't even leave the roofs free to snap on and off- without adding lights or an interior or even painting the inside grumblegrumble).

Zelda, I have always liked the Life-Like billboards and have at least 1 of all of them, including the 3 unlighted one that come with the Campbell's train set... Also have the 2 different Tyco ones. I will have them around my layout as I progress...

Yes, Ben.. I had a few in the 70s on my layout as a kid. Had to have them all this go around. I listed mine in the AOTW. It's an older photo that doesn't have the new Campbell's in it.

That was done earlier today. Waiting for it to harden up so I can clean it.
