BeNscale Signals
Just wondering if anyone has ordered target signals from BeNscale (benscale.com).
I placed (and paid via PayPal) an order back in October 2016.I have not heard anything from this place and they do not respond to my emails asking for a shipping date. I placed an order earlier last year and I think it took around 2 to 3 months before I received it (after issuing a complaint through PayPal).

Weekly Photo Fun - 1/27 through 2/2/17
Starting it off for the week with a picture of downtown Hoovertown - a work in process. Regarding the bathrooms in the park:
Growing up in Kentucky I traveled through many small towns that had town squares / parks in the center. Most of them had bathrooms (outhouse or flush toilets) in their parks. Most all of the merchants surrounding the parks had signs that said "Bathrooms for customers only" or something similar.
SceniKing Roll-Outs
Does any one know if some one took over the SceniKing product line? Just looked at their website and it appears they stopped filling orders in 2015.
I'm looking for four of their M001s to string together.
Anyone know of similar backdrop products to SceniKing where the bottom of the back drop image lines up nicely with the flat sub-roadbed and images like trees are lined up to scale at the front of the back drop?

Unloading grain from boxcars
Fresh out of HS in 1971, I worked at a local terminal grain elevator in Salina, KS. Capacity, around 10 million bushels. At that time, this elevator did a "boxcar" business of receiving grain by rail. I didn't see many covered hoppers, but I saw tons of boxcars. For several years I have tried to remember, let alone find, an example of how the grain was extracted from the boxcars. I remembered that there was a twin screw auger that was inserted into the boxcar, and it traveled on rails, but beyond that, nothing.
Making platform for the main station
I maybe should have reserved more length on the layout for the main station platform?
