I Nearly Forgot...

When I'd posted about the wharf being the last structure, I'd entirely forgotten about a little shack that sits by the Daphetid branchline switch. One could argue that it might not even qualify as a structure, but since it has a door and a window, I think it does. For reference, here's John Allen's original model:

While there's certainly not much to it, the project has me in just a bit of a quandary. You see, some time back I'd started two versions of the little thing, neither of which I'd completed because I couldn't decide between them, and only now did I realize that I need to finish one of them before I can declare all of the layout's structures "done."

The first one (above) is a modified Micron Art crossing shanty. The second (below) was scratch-bashed out of some leftover laser kit parts. I like the brass model because of the finer detailing; however, the lasercut version is closer to John Allen's design.
