It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas
You know the holidays are coming when the tree lots open around town! Some fresh scale pine trees, a tiny bit of space, a few vehicles and figures, and you'll have a terrific scene for your seasonal layout, like this one by Brian Hirvela.

A realistic rolling pipeline
Poster @espee.cascades is getting ready to deploy this fleet of Walthers 31,0000-gallon tank cars to the Chevron refinery on his layout. By weathering the cars as a batch, he made sure that each car had a different level or wear and tear for a more realistic effect.

Something's a Little Fishy!
Looks like fleet is still out, but things will soon be humming along the waterfront in this scene by Models by Mark. This transformed WalthersTrainline factory looks like quite a catch, just watch out for the sea gulls!

Night shift on the ATSF
Plenty of yard lights let the crew in this engine terminal built by poster @j_marescalco keep working throughout the night. Details like the sanding tower and refueling equipment complete this dramatic scene somewhere on the Santa Fe.

Think Outside the Boxes
Turning a common kit into a one-of-a-kind model can be a lot of fun! Kitbashing is not only a great way to unleash your creativity but you can clean out those leftover pieces and parts we all accumulate! Check out Mountain Goat Models' sand and gravel plant to inspire your next project.
