I am working on diorama of a farming community at a railroad crossing.  I will be posting pictures and text of the progress.  It is being built on a 24" closet door slab that was converted into a table, with a foundation of 1/2" sheet foam.


Overview of the layout.  Track laid, crossing constructed, first silo installed.  The grain truck and combine are sitting where the barn will be constructed.


Crossing of the county road.

Barn starting to take shape.  Balsa wood and super glue used to construct the barn.


Roofing going on next.  1/32 balsa cut into 12" scale strips for the sheathing.
