Jimi Smith's scratchbuilt model of the Boston and Maine Central Mass branch station at Weston, MA. The model is built from styrene, and has battery operated interior lighting. The prototype station still stands in Weston, although the line it is on is not in service.

Another view of Jimi's scratchbuilt station. Mike Boucher's Overland P-2 is pulling into the station.
Bob Foster models British railroads. He is building a model of a London Midland Scottish (LMS) "Coronation" pacific. This model is a kit which Bob purchased from the UK. The boiler and some of the details are whitemetal castings, the frame and running gear are brass etchings, folded appropriately and soldered together. It is quite a project, but that's how most O scale locomotives in England are built. I can't wait to see it painted!
Here's a photo of the running gear of Bob's Coronation pacific. You can see the etched brass frames, as well as some of the white metal castings.
