I spent some time and compiled a small gallery of images that document progress of the Pete&#8217;s Pumpkins model railroad over the course of the last two months.  Before I started this project, I doubted that it was possible to build a model railroad in such a short time &#8216; however having completed this [...]]]></description>

A reader left a very pointed comment that asked a very good question &#8216; &#8216;how does Pete unload the pumpkins?&#8217;  I went hunting to see if I could find some 1/32 tractors etc. But they were rather costly &#8216; at least for this project&#8217;s budget.  I decided that Pete, being a frugal farmer, [...]]]></description>

I built the shrubs using some unnamed dried floral product I purchased at Walmart a few years ago.  I snipped bush-sized stems from the main stalk and glued the sprigs together [...]]]></description>

I had every intention of painting the backdrop, but as I was surfing the web for reference images it dawned on [...]]]></description>

I decided that the only reason a pumpkin farmer would need a railway would be because either he has a high volume of goods to transport, or the [...]]]></description>

I built the barn door using some bits of rail, the [...]]]></description>
