S SCALE MODEL RAILROADING

 CRAIG O'CONNELL'S PAGE

Here's a photo of the layout from just one view. The buildings are mostly kitbashed from HO Design Preservation Models structures.

 

L girder benchwork is the framework for my S layout.

 

I scratchbuilt this tunnel portal to S scale dimensions using Das clay, a self-drying, non-shrinking clay sold in toy/craft/art stores.

 

Kinsman made S scale craftsman style wood kits such as the one pictured above. This kit took me about 25 hours to complete.

 

Modified version of the original Plasticville Diner kit on my home layout.

My only brass piece of equipment - the G.E. 44 tonner by River Raisin Models.

View of double mainline at the curve passing downtown.

An unusual track level view of the mainline and sidings. To the left is a Korber Models factory and the LVM Coca-Cola Co. Turnouts are #4 and #8 closed frog to accomodate hirail and scale.

American Model New Haven S-12 passes kitbashed Korber factory (L) and scratchbuilt warehouse (R).

Another view of a Korber factory that is just right for S scale.
