Which car was your's Mark? The Chevy looks likes it may be in motion..

Sam, here is the closest thing I have to the ‘73 Plymouth; a ‘67 Impala.  Most of my my scale cars are ‘50s or earlier.

Actually, I need a model of a ‘73 Plymouth or something similar.  Those cars are just stand ins.  The scene is still in progress.

Mark, a red '57 Plymouth Fury may fit in the "something familiar" category...?

For me it would have to be the 57 Ambulance! LOL

57 Chevy Nomad and 59 Corvette.

Something  you don't see is the back streets  of small town . Wow trains are so much fun when others enjoy them also.

@farmerjohn you are right. Backs of buildings are seldom seen on layouts.  You did a very nice job!

That's super work farmer John!  I really like the idea, as well as the excellent execution of the project.  City streets with curves that are logical based on the geology of the area (bedrock) are really interesting.  WOW!

Yes, streets with curves are quite common where I live.  Geology and geography dictated that.

Great scene John. That “small town” is larger than my whole layout! LOL

@farmerjohn, John I think that is one of my favorite scenes on your layout! I always am drawn to the curves of your roads!

Christmas trees getting off loaded

A little hard to see, but if you look close there are Christmas trees being sold here. Look by the PW F3's.

Walt, yes I see them!  That’s always a good addition to a Christmas layout!

Is this where we can buy the christmas trees Walt? 🤔    ( not sure ......77 years can play havoc with some eyes )

Boy I'm glad Judy wanted to have one delivered to the people in the blue yarn house or the Christmas layout would not have at least one sold !

Dallas, even though my eyes are only 68 years old, I have trouble seeing some details.  I had to scan a while!  I'm glad Judy had one delivered to the folks in the yarn house.  It looks like they have a roaring fire in the fireplace and the tree will make the house feel even more cozy!

Dallas, feel free to check out the trees at the corner of North Main and Pontiac...

Hey Paul , going back to the fuzzy eyes here.......can't make out any signs for " North Main and Pontiac...." .......maybe I can't see the trees for the forest

Nice active looking scene sir.            

@Dallas Joseph - you nailed it.  thanks for the enlargement.

YIPEEE..... Hey Walt , I  think this O scale railroading has improved my vision.                                                         " thanks for the enlargement  "      ( I'm glad you didn't have me thrown in jail ) 

Keep those layout pics coming Walt. 

Djer has already reached his break even point with tree sales to date...the rest is profit from here...so he reduced his tree price from $5.50 to $5.00 to compete with guy at the corner of North Main and Pontiac...

Dallas and Walt...a little better light to see the trees??  The beer train passes in the background left...

Snowy upstate NY the plows are out

Perfect lighting Paul.    ( wow....they're green. )

Thanks for all the comments on my back street. Here is a module of a Christmas  scene I'm working on now. Will be putting it below my little town. Trains are so much fun when others enjoy them also.

FOR TODAY:   Patsburg celebrates the holiday season!

Santa rides the RPO car.  He's reading letters addressed to Santa on the fly!

Have a Jolly Trolley Christmas!!

Keeping with Winter scenes:

Patrick, thank you for your dedication and time spent working on these scenes. Your love for model railroading certainly shows throughout the year, especially this winter wonderland scene. Beautifully done!
