When I was here this afternoon, they were in the process of building this layout, which they do every December at South Station. Unlike last year which was all imaginary, this one appears to be a very New England looking autumn scene with MBTA equipment. This carhouse has one Type 5 trolley and one PCC car! I'll get more pictures tomorrow.

David Lee of Dundas, Canada spent 50 years making this elaborate model train set in his basement to 1/87th scale.
In 2017, it was moved to the McMaster University Health Sciences building at Bay St. and Main St. in downtown Hamilton.
Sadly David Lee died on January 22, 2019.
This was a trial to see what underlay was suitable for my purposes - quietness. There have been many changes to the above. The tracks next to the goods shed are now 4, 2 for VR/V/Line steel wagons and 2 for NSW steel wagons like Albury, there is a small steam depot about 4pm on the return loop and various other changes. The British stock is stored and the layout is now completely NSW and Victorian
There is a model train that travels over the check-out counters at the Bi-Lo - about 10 feet above head level. Don't know what it has to do with anything, but I enjoy it
This is a modified HO scale Model Power kit " Gruesome Casket " which has been reduced in depth to fit a small space on my Terminal Avenue Layout. The side workshop has been removed and relocated to another project whilst the depth of the main building was cut down to approx 4 1/2" to fit the space.......GRUESOME
I use a product called Bondic, which is an UV cured plastic, to add more stability to fragile details. I add a tiny droplet to
the corners of stirrups and other parts who are prone to break during handeling.
When the plastic is lighted with the UV-led it gets hard, but stil transparent. This product
isn't a glue so the bond isn't very strong. But strong enough to make the model more robust. When you put to much stress on it, bond simply breaks which isn't a bad thing to happen. Because it is better to lose a stirrup then to brake an end frame.
here we can see the öbb 77 ex sb 629 (sb = südbahn = southrailway) on the turntable
sb and kkstb were the two companies till 1919 in the austrian hungarian monarchy
Like my HO scale lineup, this is also a small collection, but it's a pretty diverse grouping. What you see here are: Conrail SD80MAC, CSX SD70ACe, Golden West Service boxcar, Union Pacific boxcar, Metra cabcar, Metra coach, Virginia Railway Express cabcar, Virginia Railway Express coach, three boxcars, and a tank car.
Safety first! Preparations for scenic edging to prevent accidents and rolling stock descending to the floor.
