Nice job, Bill. I could use one of those. Is that a Model Hobbies coal yard in the background? I had one of those on the original Merkiomen.

I'm building a new layout section based on MR's Thin Branch, and it features a PA Dutch bank barn based on the Model Hobbies barn kit. I used the kit pieces as a pattern for cutting out styrene components. It would be great if someone recreated some of their models using modern technology.

Robin, I see you received your answer to the kit. The photo was taken on a friends layout, and it is to represent Becker Supply that was located in Tamaqua on the Greenwood branch. Bill.

Had some time to finish up a few more models, all F&C, XMph, XMp, XMph, and the XAd already posted. Unfortunately ran short of a few detail parts to finish another cocoa bean hopper, but my XMs fleet is underway!!!
