I came up with the idea to add a new Viaduct for our model railroad. It will be 54" long and include 4-lanes of traffic. Now that will hold many more Brooklin Models. What a terrific way to display them.

Great vision to reduce traffic congestion in your neck of the woods. When DOT gets funding and construction commences, please post pix of the progress. Always appreciate new, smooth roads. Hey, I am from Wisconsin (not for long though!), the pothole capital of the world.

Greg, most Brooklin Model collectors display their collections in cabinets. Absolutely nothing wrong with than, particularly when space is an issue. I take the opposite route, and use all of our models on our model train layout. Call it the ultimate diorama. For me, the models come alive.
Since I am a big fan of the 50's, my City is set in that period and a large number of my Brooklin Models are also from the 50's.
As an example of the ultimate diorama, a few months ago I purchased a Brooklin Models Club Firetruck. I installed it in front of one of our Department 56 Fire Stations. Very realistic scene and what better use of this Brooklin Model.

Wow! Do you have a photo of your fire station setup?
