When I built two Densmore tank cars for my Master Builder – Cars certificate, I knew I needed a special place to display them. I didn’t want to put them on a shelf, and they weren’t really suited for my HO-scale logging and mining layout set in Nevada in the late 1890s.
So I decided to make a small diorama centered around a model of the original 1859 Drake’s Well near Titusville, Pennsylvania. While not historically accurate, the Densmores could be parked there, taking on loads of crude. This clinic outlines the steps I took and encourages modelers pressed for space to consider making dioramas.
