I might add some miniature lighting to this model

Burned out for now…reason to start a new one…

The second floor on the switch tower will have an interior. I will also detail the interior of the maintenance shed.

Waiting on another German steam engine, the switch and a lot of figures.

going to add another light pole on the opposite side of the walkway

I found a company that makes a 1/35 scale switch. Ordered from Poland. Still waiting for maintenance shed. Got crane today. Will add it near the platform. I may have bought too many railroad cars😬

Be careful…you might enjoy it but your wallet won’t🤣😂😱

Waiting for more track and platform crane. Going to curve a portion of the track. Waiting for maintenance shed. There will be a stairwell connecting the walkway with the tower. Still need to finish the walkway railing.

Here are a few of the kits I will be using. Still waiting on a tanker and two gondolas. Might add two more box cars. Going to buy two more locomotives.

Unfortunately I have a small area to work with. From my experience, angling multiple structures within a limited space gives the diorama a cramped feel which I don’t want. This would also shorten the length of the three track lines. Most rail yards are typically linear. If I was only going to display the tower or if I had a larger surface to work with I would be in agreement. As for the switch that would have to be scratch built.
