Fun on the Farm
Everybody knows life on a farm is hard work, but who ever thought it was this fun?! One of our Youth Individual entrants’ layouts, posted by @americas_untold_story illustrates in 10 images the belief that hard work leads to hard play.

Urban Outfitters
Get a load of this excellent Adult Team contest submission posted by @hiroedead. With an innovative layout plan and a well-executed catenary system for four lines, this one’s not to be missed. |
The Guided Tour
Adult Individual entrant @gregorybaker1981 produced a quick tour of his unique and well-detailed layout submission. Check out the scene in front of the Feed and Seed, and the perfect little trestle bridge on the right side of the layout. Good stuff!

All Together Now
It took a group effort to build this brightly colorful and detail-rich Adult Team contest submission. Courtesy of 10 photos posted by @ashliiiin, one can tour a busy and densely-populated rail-side feed mill in a farming community. Well-done! |
 Could Use A Fresh Coat
Our last entrant featured today from the Build-Off comes from @potash_pat with a wealth of photos linked on his profile page of houses and structures that could all use a fresh coat of paint. The selective and sporadic nature of the weathered look really makes for a convincing final product. |
