The Beaver Lumber Company Revisited
Perhaps you guys remember my portable exposition layout, The BLC. After I decided it won enough first prizes 
hm hm, I took it apart and rebuild it at my home as a fix layout. This gave me the opportunity of placing all the SW structures I've build over the years and also the ones that didn't get a place on the first layout.
I recovered all of the trees of course , and everything I could use again. The overall purpose of this, and my other O-scale french layout, is see the trains passing by whilst I am building brass/bronze loco's and wagons. A few maneuvers are programmed so I don't have to sit at the controls all the time. But it's all very simple you know. Depart, stop, halt etc..
So this is , except for one , the Railroad Post Office which is of my design and construction, an all SW layout.
Of course the photos are taken inside and elements like the sealing beams, windows etc couldn't be avoided. The natural outside light isn't here, but it gives you an impression of what I'm talking about. The little prairie will be the building grounds for The Foundry whenever I have all the structures to be released still. And that will be the last SW build on this layout.
I invite you all kindly to take a look at more photos of all those builds in the Gallery and on the forum's building threads..
That's all folks, thanks for watching
