A Rock Shop for the In-ko-pah Railroad

[Ray Dunakin]

I just finished building and installing a new building for the town of Dos Manos, on my In-ko-pah Railroad. It's a rock and mineral shop, housed in an old, false-front wood building. It has a detailed interior, complete with working lights and a lighted display cabinet. All the rock specimens are real stone.

Here are a few pics:





The door is a modified Grandt Line product. I added the window and an Ozarks Miniatures door knob. Everything else is scratch-built:



The interior details really show up well at night. The hanging lamps were made from fancy "pewter" buttons and a small bead:





I also finished wiring up the lights in the two-story house:

Thanks! I forgot to mention, this is my 1/24th scale outdoor layout.

Man, it don't get better than that ! 

Thought I was back at Knott's Berry Farm strolling the paths at dusk.

Ray, my hat's off to you !

Best Wishes,
