The town of Williams Bay takes shape on the HO scale Bay Junction project. Model Railroader associate editor Steve Otte shows some of the scratchbuilt interior buildings that he made for a block of structures from a Walthers Merchant’s Row kit. On the opposite end of the layout, executive editor Andy Sperandeo installed a kitbashed culvert. Managing editor David Popp describes some of the other scenery projects in progress including adding more trees and adding a riverbed.

Watch the latest installment of the Model Railroader staff's video journal of the HO scale Bay Junction model train layout
good job on the shadow boxes Steve scenery is done time for the next part which is in Modeling Tips poring the water in Turtle Creek
I like the interor idea i am now thinking of doing it to my layout buildings.
realy nice job by the way
Looking good, has me inspired to get going and conclude my layout, may never get done but fun doing so, need a job like you have.
I really like the idea of using interior shadow boxes for the structures. Very nice touch. As always, I've really enjoyed this Video Series and I'll still say it to this day that "you gentlemen have the best jobs in the World."
I have REALLY been enjoying the Bay Junction video series. You guys have been inspiring me to get back to work on my layout! I liked Andy's culvert project. I think I have a spot on my layout that might be well-served by one of these. One of the features I admired about looking at the photos of John Allen's layout was his "overuse" of bridges, trestles, etc. I admit that I plan to go overboard with such features someday 🙂
going to be a nice layout
very good a lot usefull information keep it going
The interiors of the buildings look great. Are you planning on installing interior lighting as well?
Love the building interior. Especially the record shop with THE WHO and LED ZEPPLIN!!
Nice to see that you put interiors in the buildings. Are you going to install lighting in the buildings? If you do, I would like to see how you do it and how to wire the lighting.
The project is coming along nicely. Looking forward to the next installment of the Bay Junction Journal!!
Have been a Model Railroader subscriber for more than 30 years. It is amazing how much the hobby has advanced! Getting to the point, I really enjoy your videos. They are a good enhancement to the magazine itself. As you develop the Model Railroader staff project, would you consider installing an on train web cam! It would provide us with a really unique experience of traveling on the line.
Very interesting!!
David and staff, you guys are coming along nicely on the layout area, nice job on the interiors of the building. Just enough to let us know, somthing is goin on inside these stores and places of buisness, Keep up the great videos, hey what happened to cody office last week.
I like the work all of you are doing on the Bay Junction. Especially like the interior details on Merchant's Row by Steve Ott. Also, Andy's culvert is looking very cool. Want to see how he handles some of the roadway bridge work on the far side of the culvert. Thanks to MR staff again for very inpirational work.
Nice job guys. Looking forward to future videos.
Andy, lighten-up. Learn to smile. You're working on a model railroad not at a funeral.
Excellent! Yes to a feature on building the interiors…set by step please…
Great job on the series so far.
Wondering if "down the road" you'll do a feature about the quarry on the opposite side of the backdrop…
enjoyed the vidio. am starting to rebuild my set up . had to take tak other one down for home repairs.
Great interiors, Iwould like to see how they were built.
Will you be doing interior lighting, and why the black interior on the right end?
I would be interested in whether and how the building interiors will be illuminated.
I haven't seen many articles about building interiors and these look neat. Hope that might be something that you will include in future magazine articles (and soon).
no rod stewart? looks nice i like the hair sallon ladies where are they from?
Looks like I'm not the only one interested in Mr. Otte's building with interiors. I too have the same block of buildings and are planning on interiors. More how-to would be great!
