Cressmont
Phil has captured very well the character of the small settlement of Cressmont with the dairy and barn as evidenced in these photos. The scene was built as a diorama which will be installed on his layout and these photos were taken outside. The trees in the distance are real trees. The smoke was 'photoshopped' from a photo of an actual BC&G locomotive
Phil's scene compares nicely with the prototype (above) including the wire fence, discarded ties, and delivery truck and silo. The milk cans lining the porch will be picked up by Motor "A" sometime soon.
Phil went the extra mile and included an interior in the barn visible when the roof is removed. There's also milking going on behind the dairy and the herd is hanging around trackside, apparently not bothered by the passing trains!
