Out of the fire, into the - - - deep fryer?

I did something totally different tonight.  Well, kind of different.

Periodically, I cook a meal when the wife is busy with other things - laundry, etc.
Lately, I've been using a small deep fryer to cook chicken wings and trimmings.  Usually cut up new potatoes.

Tonight I wanted to try something different, so the main event was shrimp.  I've never tried shrimp before. It went well, IMHO.  The hardest part was finding raw shrimp in the store.

So, it was a successful variation on an intermittent theme.

Back to the hobby side.  There's a one-day train show coming soon.  The call for modules went out to the membership, and I volunteered to take a single or a double module.  The show coordinator will decide what he needs.

I've pulled a couple modules that haven't seen a show in some time.  The first module is the double named "Poco Loco Grain Elevator."  It has a single siding for loading grain in a weather protected place.

The single is "TriStar Apartments."   I made it with a raised level to place the apartments above the track level, for visual interest.  I like the change away from the "plywood plains" look is beneficial.

The towers are a pair of kits, stacked.  So, the two towers are the results of bashing four kits together.  I really like the look the extra height gives to a module.  I've thought of extending them another section (five floors) but the kit isn't available anymore.  Oh, well.

I recently bought a kit of three flags and poles.  This is one of three places I intend to use them.  The second is an existing module, and the third is one that's in the early stage of construction.  Details later, hopefully not too much.
