Someone has to start it. Here's an oldie. Parts from Walthers and Rix. The front and marque are scratched. The whole thing is based on a prototype that was bulldozed just a few years ago. The entry is pretty close, but most of the building is only reminiscent. ![](https://i.imgur.com/ARpqgbg.jpg)

Very nice. The thin awning supports, crud on roof, sunlight(?) and shadows make it look realistic. Sidewalk color & weathering is perfect.

^Outstanding Christian, I love it, esp the cheapened marquee with crooked manual lettering from a much simpler and less-grand time!

This reminds me, I found the marquee from the old Tyco/IHC Center Street Lowes will fit right on a DPM Carr's Parts kit. Almost like it was made to go on there.

Something that's now off my modeling desk............ An ugly thing that's going to be on my modeling desk for a long, long time. So far what's really done is the metal frame, which has allowed a little progress on the walkways.

I managed to build only one car this week, an Intermountain ACF 4650CF Covered Hopper kit, painted with Scalecoat II ATSF Red paint and then lettered with Oddballs decals. Elder Grain was an Australian Firm that spent a lot of money acquiring midwest grain elevators in Kansas and Iowa in the late 70's and early 80's and bought a number of cars to service these elevators. ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/xx292/dti406/(edited)_IMG_0620.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) In honor of Memorial Day, my DT&I Bi-Cenntenial GP38-2 with an auto parts train, running on the Strongsville Club layout. ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/xx292/dti406/IMG_0943.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) Rick Jesionowski
