Hot Summer, Cool Modeling
Hot summer sun gives way to cool modeling feats on display at Walthers social media pages. Seeing amazing modeling in action might just spark inspiration to master your craft or try something new on your own layout. Below are five excellent examples of social posts from the last 7 days seen on our Facebook page and Instagram.

A Living Legacy
Many of us share our modeling with our families, both past and present! Rob Clending's dad surprised him with this water tower many years ago, scratchbuilt from a plastic Easter egg, a toilet paper tube, and fireplace matchsticks. Rob found the model in a box awhile back and restored his childhood treasure!

Down on the Farm
A lot years have come and gone since this old barn was built, but (hopefully!), it still has a few good years left. Justin Murphy shares this shot from his club.

A Warm Glow
We love the mood captured in this image by @moderndti. You can almost feel the warm glow given off by the engine and surrounding lamps as everything winds down for the night along the branch line.

Company Town
Ten images of a well-detailed, charming company town can be found in @cov_railroad’s post. Click through to his profile to see a number of other amazing photos of the layout in progress. |
 Yard Work
Yards are some of the greatest places to watch and photograph trains - from a safe place of course. Chris Paciocco caught some of the colorful action on his freelanced N Scale Pere Marquette and Eastern, inspired by actual CSX operations in Michigan.
