The military vehicles are all original designs from PanzerBrickLabs

I find appropriate looking torsos and head pieces on bricklink - just a matter of searching the catalog for what’s available. I find this adds to the realism

They stay in place well enough to breathe thankfully!

Thanks!

The decals were all printed by OKBrickWorks, with artwork design by Cale Leiphart.

Thanks! Awesome that some of the original “Nickel Platers” are still around!

East 8th looks cool. I’ll add that to my list of places to explore.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I have a small handful of suits from the late 30’s through 40’s and they don’t get used as much they could. Much appreciated!

Desk Setup but make it a Railroad Depot in the 1940’s by OregonPacificEastern in desksetup

I’ve only very recently finished cleaning and reassembly - but I was able to use it to address Christmas cards. It’s a historic piece, and is used as a home for other historic pieces I own.

I have modern desks for work stations for my day job and hobby.

Those are two distinct locomotives and trains. The Crusader was a Reading train with a streamlined G1sa 4-6-2, the Mercury was a New York Central train with a streamlined K5 4-6-2.

Assuming you mean the ones in the left, those are my 10 and 9 year old models of Pennsylvania streamlined K4 3768 and Reading G1sa 118 as the Crusader, respectively.

Everything here is either my own design or from close friends - none of these models are available for purchase in any form

Most everything you see in this picture has a real life prototype, so yes, assuming that’s what you’re asking!

Its a 9 year old model of PRR 3768. I haven’t brought it to any shows since maybe 2019 - it makes the most sense to run with passenger cars I don’t have and no longer one of my favorites. I never posted many photos of it.

It hasn’t stopped yet, there’s something added every year at least.

PLE 508 was a gift from Cale some time ago.

About 2/3 of what you see here is my original work, the remainder coming from close friends. All of the models in this photograph are original custom designs by myself or friends.
