Scenery and structures
Here I must come back to the original reason for building the
railroad. It was built to keep me sane by providing enjoyable
train operations. Yes, scenery and structures add consider-
ably to this enjoyment. However, as a starting point, I’m loving
just shuffling cars around. Thus my structures are food skew-
ers and printed flags, and my scenery is nil. I may splash a little
paint around later. This sounds like cheating but I derive hours
of pleasure from shuffling cars without siphoning funds off for
structure kits. Having said that, I constantly watch online auc-
tions for interesting structures and have a couple of Walthers
Cornerstone kits and a Campbell Scale Models grain elevator
under construction. All came from auction sites.
