Nice work on the bridge. Scratchbuild?

This one is from Monroe Models. The other trestle bridge on the layout is scratchbuilt, and based on a prototype in Alabama

Nice corn field. I've been thinking of trying a pumpkin patch but the pumpkins from Busch or Noch are too expensive. Need to figure a workaround for pumpkins.

Are mountain ash berries too big? Those could be detailed then varnished.

Well, since I had to pay shipping three times it was a little over $100. I ordered one kit with some other things just to see what it looked like. Then I ordered three more boxes. Not realizing how much it would take I ordered another two boxes. I paid between 15 and 17 dollars a box. I'd say it cost around $120 total.

You know, you should never total up the costs for small projects. It makes you realize just how much money you have into these things!

My wife asked how much the soybeans were going to cost. I told her $23 per box and I'll need at least two or three. She said " you mean your going to have $170 into fake crops?" I smiled and said, yup!

You'd just waste the money else where's any ways! Hey I got a used $2500.00 hammer you might be interested in buying! I'll sell it to you cheap! $1950.00!

VERY nicely done Jon. It looks like Meridian MS, MP 100(ish) KCS Meridian Sub (near the NS junction.) Right where I started my career with Sperry Rail Service..
