You know, having a dog that needs walking (instead of me driving trains) you might pass som old rusty tincans. And after passing the same tincans several times, they start to change in my imagination. In the end, I bring them home and start building..Imageπ

I think it's pretty cool. The 'buildings" remind me of something, but I can't remember what. Something I vaguely remember from childhood, like the Old woman who lives in a shoe, with her home depicted as an actual shoe with window frames fitted in it. You should get an old boot and put windows in it for your railway. I actually really like those buildings. An old watering can would make another good one.

Hello again.
I really think the wateringcan is a splendid idea :idea:  It visualises the combination of scaling down, gardening and railway buildings, in short: the entire hobby! What about making openings in the base of the can so trains can run thru it, or as a kind of goods shelter? I can´t understand that nobody has already built it (or is it?)  I really must start looking after the apropriate can...
Here is another combination of my railwayhouses:
