I just spent an hour just scrolling through this livejournal community (you don't have to be a member to see it). It's entirely dedicated to photos people have taken of, obviously, abandoned places. I can't pick one to use as an example. They are AMAZING. Nobody here probably needs to weather a dilapidated Russian palace, but there are also farmhouses, schools, grain silos, entire towns...all kinds of stuff. Check it out if you're into that sort of thing.


Neat Site!  I love that

Neat Site!  I love that sort of thing.  We all have those "eyesores" in our communities that we ought to take pictures of someday.  These things disappear if we wait too long, just a couple months ago an old cold storage building I'd meant to photograph for a long time burned, nothing but a pile of bricks and rubble now....

Thanks!

Thanks for that link. I

Thanks for that link. I model the coal regions of Pennsylvania.  Some whole towns in that area are abandoned. 

Hi Hetaira, thanks for

Hi Hetaira, thanks for posting that link - I just got around to looking at it!

I have a short spur in an area of my layout yet to be completed with scenery and I have seriously been thinking about making it an overgrown and unused piece of track with some sort of very rundown/abandoned structures for the area.

Right now I am thinking of using some or all of this kit: http://www.fiferhobby.com/products.php?sku=JV-1020.

Looking at the images in your link was very interesting!
