It's the early 1970s, and a Sante Fe fast freight roars past the Switch tower at Rico siding . A colorful Burlingotn Northern freighter sits in the hole, it's motive power making it appear more like a Great Northern mixed freight.
My BOTW is my Tyco Switch Tower, which I've detailed with sign boards from Rico Station, along with my new AHM signals.

Harte's Mill. (I should hasten to add that the credit for putting together this building belongs
to another unknown modeler. I bought this off the shelf at a junk shop).

Was the Esso building ever released as anything else? I had that building second-hand on my old layout but have never seen the gas bars or sign. It's a nicely detailed structure.
Here's City Hall on my current layout. This has seen off and on progress over the last 6 months. It still needs interior walls to eliminate the hollow look, but the outside is mostly complete.

Da Cheez - is that from scratch? I've never seen a kit like it. Very well done, fountain too!

| Thanks Gary. It's 3D printed. It was too big to print all at once, so I modeled/printed it in pieces and then assembled it the same as any kit. The fountain and Nash in the photo are also prints.

| I can't say I want to go back to a pre-printer existence. Alex, post the prints once that happens, it's always fun to see what others are making!

WOW, what an amazing piece, DaCheez. The Nash is terrific, the
fountain magnificent.
Could you post some photos of this layout??? Or, dare I ask,
video?

| Thanks Chops! I was really struggling to fill that space with any of my plastic buildings, this was the solution. I still need to figure out the other sides of the square. I'll try to get some pics/videos up in the next few days.
