Started with 2 MRC kits and combined them to make a double bay station. Added the missing exterior walls with .040 styrene. Base and side walk areas are durham`s rock hard putty. Tree is California Silver Sage Brush I got from a friend on another forum. Concrete paint was made from a color sample , and mixed at Home Depot. I made the station floor and the interior walls from .125 PTEG Plastic. Fence is bass wood stained with oak & Walnut stain. Grass and shrubs are Woodland Senic products. The wrecker is a diecast that I disassembled repainted and weathered. Still have a long way to go and a lot of detais to add, people and such,
Hope you enjoy. Shooting for a finished Dio by the Atlanta show.

Lookin' good so far Ron.That tree is friggin' awesome man.Some people think those MRC kits are worthless but they do make a good starting point.You would'nt by chance have the other overhead light for the island would ya,I need one for my island at the Joe's Power Plus station I have built.I could trade ya some stuff for your station if you like.

That's looking really good so far. A pretty high class station with those 2 huge bays!

Ron , very interesting additional details there . I sure would love to know how you ever constructed that inncorrect lift though . I wound up giving up on it and built a better more correct lift for the one I did . Ed Shaver
