It was years before I had ever seen a clip on Tyco streetlight. These were made to clip on Tyco Speedways track sides. Found these on ebay of course...

Some views from the Armodilloville West bus layout, soon to be tidied up and
placed into service.



One of my all time favorite films, Jumanji (#1) has animals creating havoc among the
denizens of Brantford, NH. I used to enjoy the New Hampshire life in Spofford.



That would be my 7 year old niece, Sophia May, standing in the center in the pink dress. She is
one of the most delightful people I know.




Waiting for the bus?



To the dump.



A mural, cut from a vintage Preiser box once containing vintage Preiser figurines.
I liked the picture, and hated the idea of just throwing it away, so it became a mural in
the hospital parking lot. One thing I discovered from other modelers is that a street, or
parking scene does not necessarily have to be contiguous for it to work. This parking
lot is connected to nothing, to do so would make the scene cluttered.



I hated putting this house and pool so close, and so behind, the hospital, but didn't have
room anywhere else. I may move it yet.

Plan is to install A.W. tomorrow, connect it to Twin Peaks- a monument to my jealousy
of Microbusss's truly amazing collection, and do a video take on the various bus and
light rail connections in Armodilloville. As I think, and mentally curse, about MB's
collection, maybe a Lindsey Parking Garage might go better behind the hospital...
MB has more cool stuff per square yard than anyone I've met.

You could test it with a transformer to see if it lights.
