That crossing shanty from "Bridges and Buildings" was the inspiration for my first scratchbuilding project, mostly leftover cardboard and a couple of bits of stripwood, that I built when I was about 10 years old. It's definitely an eye-pleasing little shack--I try to keep my eyes open for that sort of small, charming building to photograph when I am out and about. Older model railroad books can often inspire that kind of neat little project...
