Here's my AOTW offering:
The loading dock, which replaced my makeshift balsa-wood lumber ramp -- this loading dock was customized from a Tyco Piggyback loading dock, with about 3 inches of the original piggyback dock cut off, in order for the "new" loading dock to fit properly on the Ephrata Valley Railroad. Now, this loading dock is not only responsible for loading/unloading piggyback trailers, but also is in charge of being the lumber pick-up / drop-off site for the York Sawmill & Lumber Co.

A clever use of compression, RP. Here a Zamboni from RP Model Railroaders is
awaiting shipment at Tycolia.

thats a Street Sweeper, Chops! 
A Zamboni is one that flattens & smooths the ice in ice rinks
Anyway I got this Lionel truck & trailer
it strongly resembles a Tootsietoy!
I think a cover is missing on the trailer

Mega Cool truck, Micro, and thank you for clarification! I really thought
it was a Zamboni! I'll put it on the trolley street!

Oh, My! What can this be flying around the ceiling of the layout room? A Pan American Clipper. A Sikorsky S-42 Flying boat.
* This is an all wood model of the Sikorsky S-42. It was handmade and finished in the Philippians.

| Not often seen on a model train layout, a great addition.

That is fantastic! It looks to be very close to KO scale as well? Maybe a little large?
Do tell, please.

| Yeah, that KO scale is hard to get a proper match.

Frank - Nice flying boat! As a long time airline modeler I really enjoy seeing this classic. I have a number of airliners around the layout myself. Unfortunately, airplane models seldom match up scale wise with model railroads. I've seen 1/144th scale airliners used with N scale and it looks pretty good.
