Houston Train Show 2/20/16

Thinking of entering one of my miners row houses in the model contest

I like the one with the dog on the porch

they all have studded walls and wood floors

Hope to see everyone there

Nice detailing on the inside, Terry. Is the back door ajar? Or, is it just off it’s hinges? [:D]

Tom

It’s off it’s hinges and i’m debating whether to fix it as it may add to the authenticty if left in a state of disrepair

I would show a “in the process of fixing”, having someone looking at it, with a tool box beside them. A tool box would be simple to scratch build, as you don’t need to show the inside… Unless you were wanting to.

Cute idea and easy to do ~!

I chose this building because it’s easy to transport with little risk of damage

but it does lack detail

Looks like the Company Store Repoed all the furniture[swg]

I am thinking about going; I need a couple of Barkley’s Better Boxes, and I know I can pick them up down there.

The two clinics I am most interested in are both being offered at 2:30 pm; isn’t that how it always goes?

Sadly yes ~![%-)]

I’ll be sharing a table selling some of my Re motored steam switchers

Here’s a preview

This is a shot of Cass WV. We stayed in one of these ‘company’ houses about 20 years ago. They are very similar to my mom’s home in South Fork PA. If you google earth that town, they have fixed up the old houses a bunch.
