@mike g. posted:WOW what great photos guys! I haven't check things out for a couple days and you all have posted some wonderful photos!
Paul, I do have a question, what do you use under your people to keep them upright?
Mike, he makes sure they only drink coffee or pop. No 6-packs of Coors!!

LOL, that's what allows me flexibility to get under the layout to do wire work!

Ok Ted, Now that looks like the easy way out! Most would use the lumber and make a fence! LOL
Ted, It reminds me of my home where I grew up. We lived next to a dairy farm, beside a pasture that couldn’t be seen from the barn and house. Every so often cows would get out and into our lower field.
😊 Mike, Mark', This is a poor community'. Therefor the cattle fence is all natural as was the custom in most rural areas during the war years'...😁
Ok Ted, I will give it to you, but I do have to say you don't look old enough to have been around in the war years!
Hey Mark , if all Paul's people do the coffee and soda,.... I think there are going to have to keep disappearing to make restroom visits. 😉 Maybe some type of magnetic track below the pavement in and out of the buildings !!?? 🤔

Mike, my wife had a hobby tack, I'll call it, that she used for crafts...available in the shape of a bar of soap from one of the main hobby / craft stores. It's gray and "claylike" and the adhesion isn't permanent. You can easily lift the people and move them around.

Makes sense, and looks good.
Reminds me of this shot, taken in 1950 at Stateline Hill outside of Elizabethton, TN:

ya know, I used to swing a accurate sledge hammer as a kid, working the splitter-wedge from one end to other, Abe Lincoln showed me how. For a sturdy lunch and biscuits, Ill stop over for the day and have it sorted for ya.

😲 Mike, my layout is in the era of 1939 to 1959'... A great time period in the USA'... after the war, Things were mostly good, and most folks were sane, and respect and manners were relevant .....

Clifford...realistic scene...I'm considering same bike shop building for future section of my layout. The ground cover and the dirt path look like the real thing, and the "junked" cars in the background top-off the scene
Good look Cliff.
Gotta go with Paul on the perfect dirt and ground cover.
Really like that hotrod rat Dodge Charger. 😎
