Notes:

Jim's diorama is still a work in progress.

Everything you see here was scratchbuilt, except for the blue delivery truck.

The passenger station is still a work-in-progress as the roof shingles have not yet been applied.

This model started with the frame work of a Model Power 2-8-0

The boiler was made from PVC pipe. The front of the smoke box is fabricated from styrene. The light, stack, and are from Shapeways. The cab was also sourced from Shapeways, but it was a standard-gauge version, which Jim had to narrow a bit. He also cut out the panels below the windows and replaced them with real wood inserts. Other details were from P-B-L and Precision Vintage Classics.

The tender holds the drive and the motor. The tank was scratchbuilt using styrene.

A combination car, part coach, part caboose.

The floor and roof used on this model came from an HO-scale model. The body was scratchbuilt and uses Grandt Line windows.
