    Hi friends
    Here's a photo of one of my on going projects, the caboose has a Atlas shell on a MT frame with MT end railings, highballers are from Sunrise. The VO-1000 is stock and the GMC truck is by GHQ

    Until Martyn pointed it out, I didn't look beyond the engines. Now that I see it, the bleachers look real nice. They remind me of the bleachers by my house when I was a young boy. We used to play there, and I can remember the benches and trim were painted a hunter green and the rest was dark brown. All wood construction.

    It brings back pleasant memories. Great Job Bob! [​IMG]

    Thanks guys.

    The ball park is a copy of a similar park that still stands and is used today in Ontairo CA. Its a park that was built in the early 30's for a minor league team and the city has kept as original as possible. I spent an afternoon making drawing and writing down as much as I could on the park. My model version is 100% wood (like the original) and it took me a week to build.
