Thanks! The water tower isnāt big enough for a Split. I was trying to keep it to scale. It could be taller right now the inside is 4.5"H x 4.5" R. By lengthening the side slats it could be taller.

@brokendrum I know, that is always the problem. That is why I love making things that I can keep adding onto.
@Marcello LOL. I could, but that means that EVERYTHING has to be increased. I was trying to cut down on board count by keeping each car to 1 board. I only failed on one. LOL
@JimmyWayneWestie HAHA -Perfect!
@KorenaMakes That is what I had in mind too!
@pauline.h.traynor Thank you! I would say mayb 9 hours total. The cars were easy, the station took a little more time. 
@sqw Thanks! Yeah I despise seeing joints. I only failed on the water tower roof because I couldnāt figure out a way to do it and be in scale. LOL
@Aloha I tried to make it in a V shape but it just wasnāt working without being able to cut a join on an angle.
@MakerMatthew Thank you!!
@cynd11 HAHAā¦Thanks!
@jrbryant1 Thank you! I love deconstructing things and making them work for the GF.

@shogun Thank you! I love making things that can have multiple uses.
@rvogt Thank you so much!
@ellencadwell I like the way you think!!!
@thill452 Thank you! We all started somewhere and trust me some of my earlier pieces were a little less than stellar. LOL There are so many amazing artists in the community. Reach out if you want help, always glad to help others.
@CMadok HAHA, I have actually said that before then I start making something āeasyā and it turns into a working train set.
@celesteprobichaux Thank you! About 9 hours total. Cutting and putting together about the same.

This is amazing. My father has a train village in his house and I have been wondering if I can duplicate some of this with the glowforge, but have no idea where to begin. You have done a great job.

Thank you and Welcome to the Community!
I would start with something easy like a house, you can definitely recreate anything - just have to think about how itās going together and what scale. Use the material thickness that works best with the scale. There are so many of us here that are always around to help with questions.
