Found this lovely yard piece in Newark, Ohio today. I thought this would look good in MicroBen's yard. And it's in perfect condition!! Well, almost...

For Ben it would be a delima. It would not fit on top of his garbage can lid without crushing the can. No can, no pictures.

As soon as I told them who I was sending it to, they immediately said, Oh! it's Ben! We will get this out to him free!

This old coach would be a great place to house a model railroad, put a couple more together and you would have a great facility for a model railroad club.
Proudly keeping Tyco Pluggers out of landfills since 2016

Yes! I wonder If anyone's done that before?
Here's Jason from Rapido Train's Train in his basement, along with his model railroad! Super neat.

I also remember seeing a video of someone who did something similar, and built a KCS F - Unit in his basement. Can't find it anymore.  And I saw it only recently.
If I ever were to do something like this I'd build a sleeper car. Then I could sleep down there or have guests sleep in the car. That would be sooooo cool!

These ornaments would fit in your yard Ben.
Something to consider. Not a good idea to keep them outside too long though.
