Love the building...not rustic enough for my time period but it looks perfect for yours. Don't think my old hands are steady enough to post on your blackboard! :scared-eek: And the clock is icing on the cake!
For furniture, you might check Ebay for Marx "playset" accessories (civil war, old west, etc) the furniture is almost perfect.

That is what these forums are all about. Sharing Ideas for the benefit of all. I am flattered you will be copying the idea. The clock tower is actually quite handy. One glance and I can see how long I have been lost in my slot oasis. :D

I will need one that has the day of the week once my new track is up and running.
I seem to get lost long enough that its time to,shave when I emerge from the man cave lol.
Its just not the same in the garage, especially in the winter Dan , as i am sure you know all to well.

My track is located in a 6 ft crawl space. I am 5-10 so it is OK, and because it is a crawl space the wife will never lay claim too it. However there are no windows, so when I am in this part of the basement, winter or summer, I have zero indication of the time of day. Without that clock I would have no idea of the time. So it serves a functional purpose. When I have the computer up and running with the timing system, then I have the system clock to remind me, but many times I am just down there turning laps or working on the layout without the computer on. I am sure all of us can relate to how time gets lost working on a hobby, focused on an issue or problem. What feels like 15 minutes can actually be a couple of hours. I know, because more then a few times I have slipped into the cave to spend a few minutes on something before going to bed, only to emerge 3 hrs later too receive all kind of comments from my wife as I quietly try to get into bed at 3 am. My only defense is she knew where I was.

Since the clock has been up, I tend to be shutting it done much earlier.

Cheers

Dan
