Hi everyone! Any other New England modelers? I grew up with Guilford and then Pan Am, and picked up some models over the years after moving away from Massachusetts. It was a great way to remind me of home while in the midwest.

Is there any better feeling than coming home from the hobby shop with a new locomotive? Thanks to Hobby Emporium in Tyngsborough, MA. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop in and see them!

They are models of a modern-style house (patterned after my own home) and a midwest-style corn crib. I’ve gotten good feedback on the design and the ease of printing them, so go grab them if…
