    A lot of old school modeling went into this little 30" x 40" layout. Most of the 1:87 scale automobiles are resin and painted by me. The buildings are kit bashed, painted and detailed. The trolleys are modified off the shelf items, but the freight motor was a used diesel switcher model before I modified it for trolley line service. The trolley line wire poles are soldered brass rod, the trolley wire is electrified and the ar trolley poles collect current. My first attempt at model railroading after a lifetime of model cars. It was a lot of fun !

    I've had this Solido model since the 1980s or so, and I've been converting it into a railroad inspection car. I cut a hole in the diecast chassis and fitted an AutoWorld slot car drive. Metal railroad wheels were installed, with electrical contacts connecting to the motor. So far it doesn't really want to crawl at a slow speed. It likes to scoot around at a fair clip. ? The interior detailing is basic, and the front seatback, rear floor and inner door panels were omitted. Those were filled in with styrene. I went ahead and represented bright trim and doorhandles even though in the end they may possibly not be visible through the window openings. I "rolled down" the rear windows to remove glare and improve visibility of the detailing. Four seated crew figures will be added in the future.
