I'm going to tie a couple threads together into one. As many of you know my grandkids are coming to visit for a week, so I'm trying to redo much of the layout before Christmas. (plus planning a double track under the tree).
The houses are re-used from last time. I added details, sidewalks and lighting
The restaurant is "new"... it used to be a Harley shop, so I had to bomb it with Killz to cover the orange and black. I think the pink is a bit garish, but my 8yo picked the colors. It also has a partial interior. The general store is re-used with added signage
Back side of the stores, which is actually the first part of the layout a visitor sees
The farm expanded a bit and got more detailed.
The factory scene was re-used as well with a few changes.
The mine is all new. It's been weathered and signed since this pic was taken
One of my scratchbuilt gas engine projects was my pumpjack. I'm awaiting some parts from Ozark before I show you the other one.
It's a work still in progress, so I'll post more as I get things where I want them.
BTW The village now has a name. Kimmee made a face when I said I'd call it "Kimberly" ... so I printed signs for the station. hehehe
