Scratchbuilding your own detail parts

It's always a good feeling when the "To Do" list starts to accumulate a lot of checkmarks.

Here's an interior view of the building. I put in just enough internal detail to look interesting through the open doorways. The optic fiber bundle is glued into a white LED located in the office area, and feeds through holes to illuminate the external light fixtures -- looks rather pretty in the dark.

I have been absorbed with the idea of creating a tall steel trestle similar to one very near my home. While the original was straight and designed for a standard guage line, mine will be 30" guage (1:48) and on a curve. Here is the inspiration that came from a panoramic shot:

I am looking for people in the Lomabrd Illinois area (could be companies hobbyshops volunteers etc.) that could help sponsor and build a layout for a model railroad club that may begin next school year I have not gone to the principal about it but last year he said it could be possible if I can find a teacher to do it. If you can help please put it in the comments or PM thanks.
