Steve--Some very creative work, I am amazed what an artist can do with the media he or she choses. Nice work indeed.

Inspiring thread!

The only thing that I have ever attempted to scratch build was a small dock on my previous layout. It was way oversized but I liked it. I might even find a spot for it somewhere on my new layout.
After looking at some of the photos in this thread, I'll probably stick with kits.:D

Here is what I have left of a 1/4" Circus Train I built for a Display in Indiana. There were a total of 15 cars; 1-elephant, 2-horse(stock), 7-flats with wagons, and 5 coaches. I did the extra car for my display and never finished it.....someday. It is lettered for an 'On-Air' name I used while in radio. I went by the name Johnny Winston and added 'flying circus' for giggles.

The car is 18" Long and was built following blueprints from a museum. It is an Elephant Car. Protos of this type were 72' long.
