I built an upgraded version of my N diesel facility.

Finer wire is used on the tower and it's platform is much better.
The tower's ladders are caged this time too.
Better weathering, although incomplete.

Got a "Super Facility" in the works.
She will be larger with mutiple sand towers & tanks, and lots of lighting.

Just a couple of N scale old timer depots.

Note that the roof is a solid piece of pine ripped on a table saw with some trim attached. Very simple model...

That is outstanding work. I can only imagine how good one of your Swiss chalets would turn out.

Little details like the hanging heater and the electrical meter on the back wall are such amazing touches!

Thanks man.

I made another heater and had it installed on the other stove pipe.
It looked fantastic.
It stood out.
I'm taking all kinds of closeups, excited, hell, my nips were hard.
Then while cropping the photo, I noticed the heater blocked the damned entrance...
Now there is a stove pipe in the wrong place on that shingle roof.

I got another rock for Christmas...
