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:

That's a good looking building.

Now that is creative! Well done!
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,
