Well, we all know you can't have a safe layout without protection.
The scarecrow is on a layout I am working on with a friend.
It is made from a Preiser set of unfinished figures. Some of them do not have arms. There are separate arms that can be glued in different positions. I cut off the feet and did not put arms on the figure. I drilled a hole through the body and put in a thin piece of sprue for the "arms". I used saw dust for the "hay" for the hands, feet and head.

I like the donut shop patrol. Too bad hats are all wrong for Barney Fife.

When I lived in Lemon Grove, California in 1974 there was a San Diego County Sheriff's substation in a strip-mall right next door to a Winchells Doughnut shop. They even had a connecting door.

What's wrong with the hats?

Great series. Hah hah, my wife, who is from England always loves to joke when she see's a police. She says "there he is, with his donut!"

Cheers, Jim

Barney Fife wore a cap, not the wide brim trooper hat.

In the second picture-someone better tell the utility or railroad that string is not a good conductor of electricity.

It works in HO for some reason.

Wire doesn't string very well in most scales is too stiff. Besides its his western so let him do it as he pleases.

This is #8 button thread.

No slacking on that railroad.

The scarecrow would absolutely keep crows away, but what about o scale ducks. Thanks Jim
