Life-Like ESSO station with a couple of lighted signs with it. This photo shows MicroBen why I can't turn the one sign. In this area, both roads the traffic comes from the south...

Nice stuff again guys. My version of the Plug Nickel is a Western steakhouse.
This week I have a heavily modified, re-purposed version of the classic Atlas crossing tower.
Now it's a bridge house.

Great stuff. Yes, it is the Tyco Strap Hanger set. Wanted one for ages and had to enter a bidding war to get it. I made the straight extensions from balsa.

Da Cheez - Nice apartment building. Did you make the canternary yourself? It looks really good. I would like to see a shot of that plasticville motel office you converted to a car lot. I've got a spare myself I might do something similar with.

Thanks Gary! The catenary is scratchbuilt. It was functional for a time but I made a few mistakes in my choice of materials and so a few of the span wire anchors broke off the poles. I do plan to attempt it again in the future.

If I remember correctly you built yourself a two story motel but didn't use the stock office. I now have a spare set of rooms so that may be a future project for me. Anyway, here is what my modest car lot looks like...

Nice, I like it. Yes I did do the two story motel. I used a house for the office and one office for the changing room for the pool. That leaves me with an extra office and pool.
