Happy New year! To everyone out there.
I thought that I'd share some photos of this "Rail Scale Miniatures" kit called "Whispering Falls"
I renamed my build of this kit "Fesmire Farms" in honour of the late Chester Fesmire.
Chester was a master 1/87th scale vehicle/truck builder.
So here are some pics I hope you will enjoy them!

Thanks, Tom & Don!
Here are a few more scenes from Fesmire Farms.
Chester would use a barn interior set-up to photograph his amazing vehicles in.
So that's what inspired me to try and do the same thing as he had.
I made the rear wall of this barn removable, so I could photograph my vehicles in a barn setting like Chester.
I also switched out the more modern looking silo that comes with this kit, for an older looking one.
