    A while back I posted shots of my country scene diorama I picked up from ebay. Not too long ago I purchased another one, this time with a coaling tower.

    However, the coaling tower is not fixed to the diorama allowing me to alter the scene as I wish. As a result I have changed between the coaling tower and a shed scene adding other details at my leisure.

    Here are shots with the coaling tower:

    And shots in shed form:

    Lack of people in those shots did you have the taser? ;) Being serious looks great :)

    Particularly like the CanPac one, the natural light sets it off a treat!

    As an aside, I notice you have one of those OnTracks "industrial" 0-6-0s. If you don't mind my drifting the thread a tad, what are the running qualities like? I've had my eye on one for a while to use the chassis for a project, but the comparatively low price tag makes me wonder!

    Cheers,

    The industrial struggles a little bit curving when using the points on my other diorama but otherwise seems quite a smooth runner.
