A CN switcher passes the back alley block. The engine is a Rapido offering that I purchased partly weathered...I added my own touches. |
I finally finished the ITLA test kit build of an upcoming back alley scene using five structures plus an add-on. All the signs and details are included in the kit. I did not use anything extra during construction and detailing of the scene. More views coming up shortly...George Dutka

A cab is parked out front of City Taxi. Taxi companies use whatever location gives them a good deal and is a central location. Normally back alley scene such as this are near the center of town. |

The structures can be staggered with the option to cut them down in size. Two had their depth reduced. |
Although most of the structures are brick there are two block structures that one can see in this view.

There are a nice amount of fire escapes included in the kit so each level can have one added. I did not use them all in the scene. 3-D printed garbage cans, bags and barrels are also included. A two piece skid which looks very realistic is also found in the kit. |
Looks excellent George !
