A group of friends are having a little contest to see who can build an interesting diorama on a block the size of a business card.
Something like this is easy to put into a larger diorama or a layout later.

Woodland Scenics HO "Tucker Bros.Machine shop"

Hi everyone, I have been lately focusing on building smaller kits, while at home trying to stay away from COVID-19.
This one comes from Woodland Scenics from their Scenic Details series, it's called "Tucker Brothers Machine Shop"
The entire kit is made up of metal castings, with details cast right into the walls of this little structure.
I don't think that WS makes these anymore, I've had my kit for years now, so it's about time that I built it!
They are really wonderful little kits if you ever come across one at a train show.
This kit also included some dry transfers which I decided not to use.
I added an extra wall casting in the interior, to create a little bathroom.
It had a sink but no toilet, so I added one of those as well.
You can't really see the bathroom because of the wall that I added, however you can see the bathroom from the backwall open door.
Here's how my Tucker Brothers came out looking after painting and assembling.
I also added some LED's to light up this little machine shop.
One red LED in the glowing red forge, and a couple of incandescent LED's to light the rest of this structure.

Dyna-Models Small Barn Build

While I work on the finishing touches of the Campbell Oil Derrick build, I have chosen the next project and am getting the walls ready.
Next up is a small barn from Dyna-Models. The copyright date on the plans is 1972.
As was typical of similar kits (e.g. Campbell) of the era, the directions and plans were all on one large sheet of paper.
This shows most of the parts for the barn.
Since I will simply stain the barn siding with A&I, it is un-likely that I will use the window castings. I have little luck making metal castings look like aged wood, so I might just frame out the windows with stripwood.

What do I plant now?

Later this year , No doubt I will need to be making trees for my HOn3 empire.
Thinking ahead, rather than everyone in the future needing to search through seven pages of tree topics,I was hoping you guys would use this thread as a depository or compendium of information of the collective minds here as to what needs to be gardened in the spring to produce a harvest of plants useful for making trees in the fall.
Nothing beats nature to reproduce nature in miniature.
So have at it. Names of plants, pictures of Seed packages, pics of the growing /grow/, harvested etc.
This isn't so much intended as a "how to" make trees, as much as it is what to plant in the spring so they can be harvested in the fall.
Many thanks for what I hope is a good response.

How to model deadfall?

Recent deadfall is easy enough (twigs, etc.), but what about the more ubiquitous "seasoned" deadfall?
Something like in the foreground of this photo:

Hi, I hope someone can provide me with some information on an HO model kit I recently found. It is made by S&E Suzuki & Edwards out of Tokyo. It is a metal die cast stock car. I am told this kit came out right after WWII, which would make it 50 to 60 years old or more. Does anyone out there have any info on this maker or familiar with them? This kit has all its parts and I am just curious if there is a small marker out there that might be interested in such an item, and how much it might be worth to those select few. Thank you

I have known about the L&W since I was a kid in Thomson. The EMD loco is an ex Ga & Fl RR unit #70. It was one of thier originals. There is a blue L&W boxcar parked in the wye with the loco. It has been there about a year. I was in Folkston a few days ago and spotted an L&W box in the consist of a passing CSX train. I drove to Wadley and nothing had changed in the wye. Upon leaving and heading north to Thomson, I caught sight of some boxcars sitting on the L&W main. I followed the tracks to an abandoned junk yard and there sat 4-5 Pickens RR box cars. There were trees growing up around the trucks. They all had roller bearings mounted in the old friction bearing journal boxes. I don't think thats legal now.

I'm new to the group. I live in Ottawa, Canada, and I model in HO. I'm in the process of completing my layout, and hope to begin operating sessions early in the new year.
