Here is a photo of the same Franklin Junction Station prior to the sign being changed to the blue. Here we have a white Franklin Junction Station sign.

Just WOW!  Great modeling work - thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi Guys:

Thanks for the compliment John S.

The sign was changed because the blue was the way our local RR (The Reading Co.) did it. The walls were laser cut for me by a friend. This station is from The F&SM RR.  I scratchbulit the rest.

Hi All:

This may have been my first scratch build. Not sure. Built back in the 90's of my post office desk. It is also came from the F&SM RR. I built it cause I loved the signs. Here's a few photos.

By The way George's model had brick walls.

Hi All:

Here's a photo of my scratch built Richfield Station on The F&SM RR. More photos of the original diorama later.

Hi All:

Here's pics of the original diorama. George disassembled it to fit it on the layout.

Karl,

Thanks for the added structures. I'm still looking for the ones you have on Howard Zane's layout.

Although this is a Bar Mills kit, it is one of my favorites as well.

Tom, what are you implying about Bar Mills kits when you say " ALTHOUGH a Bar Mills kit".  Is there something I should know as a newbie?   

[fbernard65]

I think he means it is a kit and not a scratchbuild.

Hi Tom:

Yes Frank is wright that was a Bar Mills kit that I think I built. That structure was from an article in, I think, MR called the house on the hill. It has also been used in some FSM kits. I think I posted one under my blue buildings.

Hi Tom:

Here is the diorama I gave to Howard. He split it up and the diner is in one spot and the gas station is in another I believe.

Bubba's Diner and Gas Station built from Campbell stone. An old 1950's Ideal kit was used as a basis for the Bubba's Diner.

Hi All:

Here's a couple of scratch built billboards that were going to become Wales Junction Scale Signs kits. But it never happened. I think I built one of each for George and they are on The F&SM.
