Technically though, it's more Rear End than Front End. Though the Southern did like running things long hood forward, I believe the GP35 was set up Short Hood forward, though I could be wrong!
I think you are showing really good instincts with your scenery there, including in particular, the buildings and the groundcovers. There is a certain maturity to your approach. IMO.

Awesome. I want to buy a place in Moon Township and live there with my wife. Now only if we can change to O Scale.

You'd certainly be welcome; however, I don't think you would be happy, ultimately, since all the folks in town do a whole lot of standing and sitting around, and you seem like an active fellow. They don't move much; in fact, not at all. Even the traffic is at a standstill. Plus, you'd be looking at the same spot opposite where you'd be situated, and that would get boring very quickly for you, no doubt. But it was a nice thought! Thanks!
There is, however, a new house being built right next door to us, that you might like; however, it is taking them forever 
to get the job finished. It almost seems like they are just standing around a lot.

Very well thought out, Frank, and hilarious.
The idea of becoming an O Scale figure on Frank's layout reminds me of the kind of thing Rod Serling would do in The Twilight Zone. After all, we spend so much time with our O Gauge trains and layouts, it would be poetic justice to end up as an O Scale figure in that little world. That TV show terrified me as a young child, mostly because of the eerie music and eye ball floating in outer space at the beginning of the show.

One final thought about this: Rod Serliing would have it so that those model railroaders who took good care of their O Scale figures would later on be animated and very happy when they become little people in a heaven-like layout, but those modelers who abused their O Scale figures would end up as inanimate tortured souls in that other place way down under that starts with the letter "H."
LOL
So you better be nice to your Little People!

Like a lot of railroads my diesel roster is predominantly EMD so here are three examples of my GE locos:
L-R U23B, C30-7, U30C
