My AOTW offering is 2 accessories recently added to my Ephrata Valley Railroad layout. A Woodland Scenics steam shovel, and a Classic Metals White dump truck.

Good luck wiring up those block signals, Busss, they sure do look cool, though!
RP, that scene is magnificent. It is a very nice touch, and the operator hanging out
the door is a nice touch.

I'm really excited with this air raid siren, scratch built by A-A-Ron. It just is the perfect
fit for city hall (from RP Model Railroads) and the Plasticville Jail. I plan to do several
videos featuring this unique piece of Americana, starting with one tomorrow. Among
other things, it is astonishing how A-A-Ron hand painted the Civil Defense
emblems upon the breaker boxes. That is so far beyond anything I could ever do. The
entire piece is completely scratch built.

Chops, now that you have the air raid siren, you need a recording of one blowing a tornado warning and you need a huge fan to blow the layout apart like the downburst from a storm.

Pretty cool set in 1/87th scale. Picked it up at a flea market yard sale for $1!
Made by Smart Toys, both trucks have some metal diecast parts, and the original price was only $1.99, looks like it may have been picked up at a Big Lots store.



Speaking of Big Lots
