Watkins Glenn



We went back for the 2010 version of the annual classic car race. Here is the start of one of the featured races and a shot of some of the cars trying to squeeze through turn one together.
The brewery is a model I built this summer for a friend in my operating group. He has roots in the Wisconsin area so a brewery theme on his railroad is a natural for him. This model is over five feet long and gives a major industrial flavor to this corner of the layout. I kitbashed it out of flour mill and icing platform kits together with quite a few feet of PVC tubing:) Schmidt is his last name so the signage was a no brainer. I built it to go on one wall but Ron decided to make an "L" out of it by moving one set of storage tanks to the end wall, a change that really improved the model.
