    Yep. I need magnifiers for the details. But I can put a lot of layout in a small space.

    Those scratch builts are great! I've got some HO stuff my Dad built and I appreciate all that he put into them. I'm selling all of it off now (trains, buildings, equipment). Keeping a couple of special items, but the rest has to go. Anyone have an interest?

    Some of my N scale I've had for 42 years. It's been built and taken down a bunch of times. This lay out is the most elaborate. Since it looks like there is some model train interest. I get some more pics and start another thread.

    Yes, lifted and shifted...
    Made simple leveling feet (Hex bolt) that is threaded into the bottom leg plate... Allows for quick and easy leveling for uneven pavers...

    New restaurant "Sweet Carrot" going in at the old Rife's Market location in Grandview...

    These are bike racks that will be installed out in the parking lot... made out of 1/2" thick steel plate, they plan to let them rust naturally...
