An HO scale switching shelf layout based on an alternate history of Hill City, Minnesota in the year 1920. In this alternate history, the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range railroad has expanded into more than an ore carrier, and is servicing Hill City as a general purpose railroad.

Civilization from cereal boxes
I mocked up my first three structures, using cardboard from cereal boxes. The building with the yellow reefer in front will be Johnson's Produce. The building on the hill will be The Lakeview Inn (prototype photo below). The third structure will be the Hill City Depot. My goal is to scratchbuild every structure on the layout, no kits, and no plastic.

ReplyDeleteAmazing what a little bit of cardboard will do... :-)
ReplyDeleteI was really excited after seeing these simple "buildings" in place.
