Double-dippin' this BOTW with 2 Tyco Kits - both of which I bought already assembled off of the Bay, of course, at great prices.

Up first is the Tyco Brewery. Much like the Old Time Factory, this building shocked me with its size - it is over a foot long - and is incredibly detailed. It is seen here on the rear-right corner of the layout.


2nd is the Tyco "Interlocking Tower" - essentially a large signal tower - almost 8 inches long! Simply awesome, and well assembled by the previous owner.

Nice back scene, Walt. Eight inches on that interlocking tower? Yikes, that's a lot
of real estate. Guys like us are always trying to cram one more thing in.



A different photo of the familiar Siesta Motel. There has to be at least one in El Paso
by that name. What intrigues me is I finally got this Pixel XL camera to upload
photos (long story). If I took the same photo with a Samsung Video Camera, or
a Kodak digital camera, I would end up with a fuzzy or grainy mess. I use this camera
just for photography. Can't imagine this surviving a day in my pocket.

Some more classic stuff guys. Good to see. While in lockdown here decided to build these three IHC Homes of Yesterday and Today. I really like these kits. Two of the storefronts and one townhouse. The one was missing some parts so had to make some changes. Otherwise, pretty much out of the box and not as much in details as I have been known to do. That said, I think they make a great little block.
