Roundhouse Scenes
Scenes at the Harbor
Brian constructed the dock with pilings from maple twigs from a tree in the yard. Sue built the boat rentals structure.
In this scene that shows the West Bay & Northern’s mixture of steam and diesel locomotives, we see Brian’s complex trackwork and Sue’s coaling tower and powerplant (at the far right).
Brian did the track and trestle work in both photos while Sue constructed Baxter Supply from a George Selios Fine Scale Miniatures kit.
