This is my first attempt at scratch building a structure for my railroad. I think it looks good from a distance.

Very effective, very creative, very clever, very well executed. Max

It's great to see a down at heel item booted up to shoe in some real sole. Sorry if this post is laced with tongue in cheek comments, or is it all cobblers?

I reckon that is a great bash, just a bit of a shame that the wavy paving hides some of it but you can't have everything. Ace job!

I do like seeing things being re-purposed for the railway. Neat idea!

I like the way you waited patiently for ten years and then chose your moment. That's style!
