Sierra West HO Scale Logging Camp

These are the Rigging and Tool Sheds.   Rigging shed was board on board over laser cut framing.  Very easy to assemble but delicate before assembly.   The roof is off now as there are a bunch of castings, mainly of cable reels, that will be added after the building is planted.   The Tool Shed is also board over board over laser cut framing.  I did add some basic interior detailing which was not part of the initial design and added a VERY basic lighting system.  This is just a Woodland Scenics Just Plug light super glued to a beam I added to hold up the roof.  Basic but it works!

Here is where we sit as of today, 12/19/25.  Have the next week off from work so will be trying to finish up the Station and start building out the base and planting the completed structure.  More to come.  Thanks for following along.

Travis, welcome to the forum.
Everything you've built looks very good.
You certainly been busy at the bench.
I might of missed it, but will these go on a diorama or a layout?

THanks, Rick.  Will be a large diorama for now.  Unfortunately no room for a layout yet.  I have about 10 dioramas already completed and on the same base thickness to hopefully be able to plug them into a layout one day.

Since I am new here, I'll add some pics of previous dioramas.  Most of these kits should be familiar to the class.   These are all from the last 3 years or so from when I really started to get my feet under me, modeling wise.
