Thank you, Richie, Rubin!

Richie, I moved the buildings as you suggested.

I had turned the hobby shop entrance corner toward the aisle a bit was so more of the front.  That allowed me to turn the fire house side parallel with the hobby shop.  Also, it made it look like the fire engine had more room to get out of the fire house.  I think I am going to have to park the fire engine inside or partially out to look right.

Rubin, I was thinking about street widths over the weekend.  Here is a photograph of how I measured street and sidewalk to have the minimum width for 1:43 cars and trucks.  The seam between the two lift up sections dictated the placement of the edge of the street and sidewalk.  I have 3' for sidewalks and 8' for each traffic lane.  When cars are side by side like in the photograph, it is obvious the street is narrow.  If I made the curved main street wider, the buildings would be too close to the tracks.  The church is already at the only spot it will fit.
