Great work. We didn't have an IH dealer in my hometown. Had an AC and a Ford dealership. Grandpa farmed with a Farmall and had to drive to the next town if he needed anything.

This was a partial kit that started out life as a supermarket. (see link in OP) but I chopped it up and used pieces of sheet styrene (like what yard sale signs are made of) to make the rest of the building. I am not sure what you mean by open window- all of them have glass.









Here is a vid I did in January pre-IH building. http://youtu.be/nxGOcc4esc0

The tractor is 1/64th scale, which is S scale in railroad lingo.



There is a ton of stuff for 1/64th scale for farm and farm related impliments, but not so much for model railroading. Also, there is a bunch of model railroad stuff in HO scale (1/87) but not much in the way of farm impliments. it has annoyed me for years. I usually fudge it and put a S scale tractor with a HO scale train.



When I researched the building, I spent a lot of time looking at photos trying to make it look convincing for the space I had on the layout. It isn't the size that a prototypical one would be (I think- I couldn't find any measurements, and the closest ex-IH dealer building still standing to me is over 60 miles away) but it is close for me and convincing enough I think.

Everything you see in the vid. I have done myself (the locomotives were bought assembled and some of the rolling train cars).

I like what you have done there Daniel, especially your dedication of the building to your dad!!! I have a layout N-guage that was partially complete when I purchased it from an engineer for the B&O. I was invited to join a model RxR club that had an enormous layout, 8 tracks. They gave each member a schedule and a station to control during their meeting times. Very neat setup where they even had a graveyard with headstones marked for each one of their members who caused a fatality (train wreck) when they didn't have their trains departing on time, etc...

You have a very relaxing and creative hobby there and your personal touch on it makes it really stand out. You may want to check out your local farm supply store, sometimes I see small lawnmowers (sorry, not O's), small tractors (IH ones), and small animals that would suit your scale.

BTW: I don't know if you ever made your own trees and shrubs, but they are really fun to do and more realistic than store bought ones.

To a great hobby and your father's IH store

Most of the trees are scratch built. The mountain trees are pillow stuffing made into balls, sprayed w spray adhesive, coated with ground foam and cut in half then glued down. Its supposed to recreate a forest of tree tops.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
