Thank you, Mike, Jeff!
Mike, yes the streets will come first. The houses can come later. In fact, I may find some other buildings I want to put there instead. I have a scratch build in mind, but need to work out if I have room for it anywhere on the layout. 
Jeff, Yes isn't that the way even with someone's layout you are familiar with. Recall a few months ago I asked you for some help orienting where you were putting in structures on your layout. I scrounged up some boxes to raise the buildings. The blue boxes are too high I think, but they give me the idea. I think I like the height of the church on the left.
A forum member contacted me via email with a suggestion for the zig zag switches for the yard access track in the foreground of the above photograph. The suggestion would straighten the connection to the mainline which is the next track back. I just need to buy one or possibly two switches. The existing switches are 042 which I had on hand at the time. As Mike said, another project to put on the list.
