Rob's HO Scale EJ Whiley and Lineside Shed Diorama
I really like the integration of the two kits, the lighting, and of course the wonderful modeling! Great coloration and scenery as well.
Rob emailed these to me and has given his permission for me to share them with the SWSM community. Thanks Rob and congratulations on a fantastic diorama.
Here is what Rob stated in his email, I know many of us have similar memories:
"Whiley's general supplier and lineside storage shed is from back when rail was king and we used to wait for the trains to run over pennies we placed on the track.
I used wrinkled rice paper for the tarpaper roof, Gallery Glass for the tar and bottles, Rembrandt powders, AK pencils and asphalt, fruit is painted couscous and the bike is a 1952 Triumph Speed Twin with glazed exhaust pipes. My bike was a 1966 Triumph Thunderbird. Wish I still had that bike and one of those pennies."

Today you wouldn't be able to get within a 100 feet of the rails to do it!!

Wonderful detail and scenery work to compliment the structures.
