Canyon City, Wild West Town

Canyon City is from JFScheiber's back catalogue. It was originally published as nine separately available sheets with two to three models per sheet. Then you could buy all nine sheets, plus a paper cover, stapled together and offered as a job lot. The entire collection is shown here. No scale is quoted but if it isn't HO, then I'll eat my hat. Very sturdy card but still quite easy to make and a project that could be tackled in bits and bobs.

For diorama enthusiasts I've included a little extra, which was a present from a friend.

That is an attractive collection.
HO scale sounds about right.

Philip, the town is beautiful!

Coo-ee! Thank you so much for your comments and I'm glad you like the models. As Miles and asettico rightly point out, quite a lot could be done to improve the display. Minature figures would look good too, I reckon. But be that as it may.

The whole caboodle (train included) is being given to a friend who will use it to entertain her young grandson when he comes to visit.
