Winter of 2007 I decided to work on making my own buildings from scratch using balsa wood some plastic parts and what ever else I could find around the house or my workshop.

Depot was built from scratch and designed after the North Redwood Depot my brother and I used to play in as kids. Sears sold his watches from this depot.

Saloon was also built out of balsa wood from scratch. It is my own design and what I think a saloon should look like. The name "Gypsie" is taken from my wife's band name. "The Gypsies."

Water tower is also made of balsa wood and I designed it from pictures I found on the web. Spout and silver weights are from tubing I found in my workshop.

Roundhouse was purchased off of E-bay. I cut in half and made a wedge out of it to give it some style. Very fine black sand paper was used for the roof. The turn table was made from and old plastic draw bridge and the mechanism was made from and old computer hard drive. Still working on it.

Bank was made of balsa wood and and left over plastic brick siding from the roundhouse. Bank is of my own design.
