As you can see I have yet to paint and detail it yet but here it is my cuts could probably be straighter but the building is square and I made it myself so I am not too disapointed

I'm a new member so hoping the photo post worked.

Moderator note: added photo in-line. Original is much larger than this.

As I have stated before, I like to build model railroads based on prototype information, typically in areas that I am living. For the past 10 years I've been modeling a small portion of the Tonopah and Tidewater around Goldfield Nevada circa 1915.  I like scratch building and kit bashing to get what I want.  

This is the 3rd attempt at building a nice German H0 layout.

Kentmere is a station in a "shadow box" on a lower level, it is connected to the rest of the railroad with a 3 turn helix that represents the Kentmere Branch.  The industries are a combination of the Kentmere and Rockland Branches.  There are the J.P.Bancroft textile mill, Brecks flour mill, and the DuPont gunpowder works (the prototype is now the Hagley Museum and Library).

I am currently working on a project that is a wee bit out of the ordinary for me. But as it turns out, right up my alley.

Recently one of my Patrons contacted me about building a diorama scene for them. Thing is the project hailed from a long and drawn out process.

For Todd, it started with a Showcase miniatures kit
For me, it was all about that article.
