A couple of days ago another modeler, Andy Root, posted a picture of his 100-square-inch-challenge project, a small depot. He calls his "The Last Train to Clarksville," but the song that popped into my head was Guy Clark's "Desperados Waiting for a Train." Not to steal Andy's thunder, but I decided I needed to build my own depot scene, with an old man and a boy sitting on a bench. I may or may not take it to the Mini Festa, depending in part on how quickly I get it built; we're just two months out.
I ordered a Full Circle Models depot, including an interior kit. Here's a picture from their web site of Dan Wolschon's build:
A couple of figures from one of Cumberland Shops' passenger sets will portray young Guy and his surrogate grandfather, the two on the far right of this group, Passengers #4.
This is going to be a pricey little project compared to the other diorama, which was all stuff I had on hand. But the good news is, the station will end up as part of the L&SE layout.
