Well unless Madona is missing an undergarment I'd say it looks kinda like a filter of some kind?
Nice work by the way!

Now that I look at it again, I think you've got it. I withdraw my bullet theory. Shows what happens when you think like a cop.

Sure, Matt, rub it in with a nice roof covering too. That cone looks like a (hopefully) empty round with a bullet for the cone.
Josh, looks like that's going to be quite a tank car when you're done.
Chris, those are some nice little stations you picked up. Where did you get them?
Zak, now that I look at you prototype photo, it looks like the dirt from the road has completely covered the crossing except for the track and the flangeway. I'd use the same technique you used for the dirt road to also cover the crossing.

Sorry about the pics it was taken on a crappy camera. But he is my custom SD70M Phase II cab painted for Norfolk Southern.
Lots of good answers as to what was used for the cone at the bottom of this piece (the tank for a sand tower). Would you believe it is a cork fishing float from Walmart. They come in several sizes and fit nicely into a short section of PVC to form tanks. By the way the rivets on the tank are Grant Line castings, though I also make them with Arleen's Tacky Glue and a syringe.

It was a kit I got from another modeler who decided he didn't need it.
