Several unfinished  Boxcars can be seen. 

The pier was made from a piece of 1/4" plywood and used pencils as supports. No water was added; the white material around the pencils is Elmer's Carpenter Glue.

The tipple was built from foam core board, scale 2 X 4's and pencils.  The red building is a hose house made of styrene. Flatcar #503 is shown to the right of the tipple. The green looking wall was made from pieces of a shattered skylight from a downtown highrise building and glued together with contact cement to represent a stone wall. It was later painted gray. 

This mill sets at the same site as the coal tipple. The building was made from foam core board, Grandt Line windows and doors. Scale 2 X 4's were used as battens. In front is a heavily weathered loading dock. I never did figure out what was milled here...

From the doorway to the garage looking toward the mill. One siding was located at the station and a stub went to the remains of an O scale mine I built in 1975. The bobber caboose is parked on the stub. The track on the far left was eventually torn out as the grade was so steep that engines could not climb it.  An STSL flatcar is on the siding and its load is standard gauge trucks. The orange outhouse was reduced back to individual boards when I moved the station model across town. 

The benchwork is 3/8" plywood with a layer of Styrofoam. The backdrop is hardboard with Scuptamold and screen wire creating the rock face. 

The tunnel in the upper right corner is the light switch. The truck is a Matchbox Models of Yesteryear car converted to a truck.

Here is the Climax as first built. The sideframes were Alco style, later changed to the Athearn F-7 style. No lettering was added. As shown here, the steam valve is just placed in a hole in the cab-later I constructed a section of boiler for it to connect to.
