I took a Rio Grande Models Linn Truck and kitbashed it into a tow truck. It is the perfect accessory for this scene. Pictures are provided in the manual if you would like to bash your own!

 

The rear of the diorama and the long wooden fence. Why does it all look so darn good? Good clean scratchbuilding techniques and the reliance upon the laser as a tool, not a way to replace the modeler!

 

Another view of the rear with the incinerator and the traveling crane.

 

Here’s a shot of the Linn Tow Truck peeking through the small shed.

 

The highly detailed boiler and welding shop. The outdoor plumbing, ornate porch, various colored and weathered siding, vines, and various stacks create a structure with lots of character. It definitely has what I call that “craftsmen kit fancy”.

 

Peeking through the gate into the camps yard. The loading dock is ready for another shipment.
