Beautiful job.  I particularly like the roof details such as the corbels.  Interesting that they are vertical and not perpendicular to the roof line.  Jim

Good Morning Steven and Jim,

Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thank you for stopping by my thread and for your kind words. Just a quick post of another scenery shot with a major tree in the backyard of East end Market. The scenery below is done so I planted the tree. Enjoy.

John, Martin and Donato,

Good morning guys. Thanks for stopping by and your kind words. I have had this tree for some time and this was the best place for it. Donato, sorry but the building is a derelict, at least the real one. Apparently no one has been living in it for quite a time, just ask Raymo. I have been busy "cleaning' the train room. I added new storage drawers for all the scenery material that was it many boxes under the layout. Now i have one place to go. That does mean that i will be able to find anything easier or faster, but it's a start.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Morning Mr. Erieman,

I trust you and the family had a great Christmas. My Babe and I did for sure.

I guess I'll just parrot what everyone else is saying about the build. FANTASTIC looking and especially with the scenery. It will be spectacular when the area is finished.

I've started on your brass loco and have discovered something you probably didn't know about it. I'll call you later this afternoon.

Keep the pictures coming.

Tom,

Great talking to you today. While you are having fun working on my engine, I am working on scenery for East End Market and making progress. As I mentioned, I had a senior moment today while on the thread mill. How about some derelict cars as part of the scene for East End Market. I'm excited about this. I mentioned the idea to Raymo and he feels the same. Now I have to see if I can get some car bodies to bend, paint and weather. I have the perfect spot on the module and will keep everyone up to date on the progress.

In the meantime, here is another pic of the structure facing the end of the building. Enjoy.

John,

Thanks for stopping by and your kind words. You will appreciate my next comment. While working on road scenery tonight, I encountered a BIG WHOOPS. The model fell off the adjustable stand that I work on the models. Yes, 30" to the floor. After several expletives,  I picked up the model to find a lot less damage than I thought would have occured. As you can see in the attached photo, the right porch and roof snapped off. That was all!!! After a few minutes, everything is back together. PHEW!!! I'm getting too old for this kind of excitement. Now it is time to get back to the scenery!!!

Frank,

I also enjoyed our conversation yesterday. I think the old abandoned cars is a great idea. Lots of rust and weeds. It will be a great scene.

Good Afternoon Tom,

Been busy developing my idea for the "garage" that will be at one end of East End Market.  As I mentioned, Dan Raymond has been a lot of help on East End Market and thought that I would build a structure for Dan. So-o-o, I have come up with Raymo's Auto Salvage. It will have car and truck components, tires, rims, axles, etc... along with a small office building. There is a small triangular section on the right side of the property. It will be a small structure with signage, etc. with chain link fence surrounding a bunch of car and trucks. The scene will be very run down with lots of weeds, rust, junk, etc... I have been building some cars and trucks today for the area. More later once I have had some time to design the actual building.

Taking the wife out for dinner tonight. It's our 36th anniversary. How time flies when you are having fun! She was good today, letting me play in the train room all day with no interruptions. Sweet.

Congrats on the anniversary!  (we'll hit 33 in March).  I like the idea of a 'automotive recycler' :-)

Congratulations on your anniversary!  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for Raymo's
Auto Salvage.  It's always more fun when you have a theme for a build and Dan is very deserving of the honor.


You must have been scared to look when the East End Market went for the floor.  Don't do that it's bad for your heart!
