Conjunction Junction freight office modular MOC - final - front
What's a freight train without someone or somewhere to tell it where to go next? Enter the railyard dispatch center, which is not just any old building: it's the Conjunction Junction dispatch office as seen in the education cartoon series Schoolhouse Rock "Conjunction Junction" episode from September '73.
I've made some changes to the original cartoon design, such as adding a heater / stove pipe to the building and placing a water tower nearby (inspired by a build from a user who sadly deleted all his photos.) for thirsty steam locomotives. The tower top rotates a full 360 degrees with the water pipe, allowing the engineer to pull up, get his loco full of (imaginary) water, shove the pipe away, and move on.
(see the other two pictures for the building inside and rear views!)
