I haven't posted much lately because, with summer being here, I haven't done much on the layout. But I did finish a scratch built background building I've been wanting to make earlier today and fill in a gap between two structures. As with all my buildings, it's lit on the inside, and the the sign on the roof, a Woodland Scenics HO scale product, is also lit. The structure is built from Evergreen Scale Models styrene board and batten sheets and dimensional styrene pieces. The roof details are Walthers HO scale and the "Trost Paint and Oil Corporation" sign is from a City Classics assortment of HO scale signs. Dimensions are 48 scale feet wide by 11 scale feet deep and 20 scale feet high. It's just big enough to give a sense of presence. Yes, I'm using a lot of HO scale components, but since this is a narrow gauge railway, many O scale components would seem oversized. Besides, my local hobby shop doesn't carry O scale. Eventually, I'll get around to taking nighttime shots and you'll notice a reddish-orange glow in the window to the right from an open furnace door.
