Morning All!

The purpose here is to post every scene you can think of that you have never seen modeled.
Then reply with quote if you have seen the scene modeled, with a pic or link.

I made a skate park on my last layout, cuz my kid was into skating.
Next one will have a Bonsai Nursery, cuz I'm into that now. (Small trees, small trains. Outdoor guys should consider studying bonsai, what sells cheap as a Bonsai could make excellent layout trees! )

Shout out to the guy who did the scene from Breaking Bad!

Wow! I don't recall ever seeing an undertrack human walkway by a station or other. I had to sweep one out for community service once! Historic Riverside,Il.

Let's get it started!

Thanks for the Breaking Bad compliments. Did you see the camper from the show I made later?

I was just thinking about an under track walkway the other day. I simulated one on a layout I did as a kid...but it never looked right.

Cool idea but I'm guessing that 99.9% of the stuff I've seen has no pic or link.

I have never seen - A hay field being bailed. I've seen the field, I've seen the equipment, I've seen a bailed field, but never the act of bailing.
 
I have dreams of having an open building with active unloading going on. Fork lifts moving in and out of the box cars, etc. Just haven't figured out how to do it yet.

Not the moving part but the Railway Express building on the Platte Valley layout in Denver Union Station had a 1/2 building with both inside and outside scenes actively loading some railway express box cars.

If you want to do the moving part it should be easy enough to put the forklifts on tracks that are back and forth hydraulic or simple mechanical track.

I've thought of using tracks, magnets, etc. Just can't figure out how to go in empty and come out with load. I guess magnets again. Oh, well. Something to think about.
