Depot Street

Your Depot Street looks great. I can just about hear all the action. You've crafted a scene so true to life it has its own built-in sound effects!

Thanks!

Love this! Nice job 

First pic of Florida East Coast "St. Augustine" was taken when we rode it on an 611 J  excursion.  Next two pics are the "St. Augustine" being pulled by the 611 J excursion on the "South Fork Railroad" today.

Theater time.

I absolutely love this cinema Marty.  It took me ages to research who manufactures it.  You've done a great job with the street and chosen an appropriate movie too!  Your 'city' must look brilliant at night.

Very unique collection!

Modeling inspired by places along routes 30, 422, and 222 in the Lancaster area of Pennsylvania...

Another work scene.  Gotta keep those wheels rollin'

Love the helicopters.  A number of people seem to incorporate water into their layout via either a river or a wharf.  I've always thought an airport would be nice ... or maybe a motor racing circuit ... or both!

If it wasn't for the Woodland Scenics guys on the platforms I would swear this was a photo of a 1:1 RS-1. Excellent scenic work BAR!

Travelling on my old layout.

What a collection you have.
You photos of  your collection are the best!

This picture looks like a store, move the glass display case from the wall amd get a old/antique cash resister to put on the counter.

Here's another.

Love the Lionel orange & blue box car.  Is that standard gauge?  Was it a reissue?

Here is my contribution for today.  Two entries because I missed yesterday

OMG. As cool as it gets! AND that includes, certainly, the erratic and random and semi-worn foliage alongside the sidewalk. WOW!

FrankM.

P.S. The only thing I would add, even though I wasn't asked, so I never do offer, is that I'd put paths of grime on the roadway, marking where tires have passed, as well as within the precincts of the sidewalk, marking the path of most footsteps, which are details I have always added to such features. Perhaps, you can detect some evidence of that work by me in these vignettes...

Thanks so much for the kind words and very helpful suggestions, Frank. Much appreciated!

Thank you to Gandydancer1950 as well.

You certainly are a pleasant person to converse with, N5CJonny. You help make sharing our hobby enjoyable, indeed. (You've helped me be comfortable with having taken the chance to offer unsolicited advice!)

For June 18, a trolley over a train. Baltimore Transit Peter Witt Trolley over an Amtrak Lion Chief passenger on the siding.

Thank you to all who liked my photos and......Happy Father's Day if appropriate!

The photo below is showing my 14th street subway station on my tv and is from a mini cam placed by the station, which is hidden under some furniture. Because of the location, a cam was the only way for me to do what I wanted and to view my station with the limited area I had. By the way, my wife did not mind having a subway station below the furniture.
