The Broken Tree Jurgens Junk Yard

                                  The Broken Tree Jurgens Junk Yard

The Broken Tree Jurgens Junk Yard was a fun kit to build. The corrugated metal roof gives this small building some character after the corrugated roof was weathered. I added a substantial triangular shaped junk yard behind this building. The Broken Tree Jurgens Junk Yard is located on a long siding west of San Marino near the Cash Mining Company. The Broken Tree metal casting was used on the Original JJJ&E.

I spent several hours weathering the corrugated metal roof and building the triangular junk yard.

  1. Very nice work over all and in particular the ballast work is as good as it gets, especially in N scale. A tip of the hat to you sir.
