Let's see your "Downtown" photos!

Nice Neville!! How about a snapshot of the new scene too?

Might have to come down one year for a real Christmas in "July" rather than at the ball park here

Can you name all theses autos?

Here is mine!

I don't have a downtown,

Wow Roo! 

No comparison here to the quality  of your masterfully carried out work but here I go... this is mine

Railroad Ave's IGA, another store owner with a sense of humor making his business look just like a Woodland Scenics kit. 

US 85 on the north end of Railroad Ave has some of those new Franchise burger drive ins. 

Railroad Hotels along Wyncoop and 16th Street. 

East end of Railroad Aveune and 256th street, the old Standard All station.. 

West Pratt Street and Railroad.. this guy worked really hard to make his barber shop look exactly like the Woodland Scenics Landmark Structures Barber. 

The First Bank Building on Pratt and Main. 

Looking toward the First Bank Building from the Hotel Longmont. 

Main and Pratt in lower downtown Longview 

Shapiro luxury apartments and Fine Furs

Awesome work TR18.. 

Magnificent work guys, thanks for posting!!

Erik, the night scenes, particularly the Pratt & Main shot, remind me of the movie American Graffiti. I see in another view that you have a black '55 Chevy, so all you need is the yellow '32 coupe to do the race scene. Excellent work btw.

Yeah, me neither. I knew when I took on a layout concept of a very rural backwoods area, there'd be things I'd yearn to model, but couldn't.

This turned out to be a big one. I'd have loved to have modeled a downtown area but it wouldn't make any sense for my layout.

Thank you, sir. I feel honored you say that.

Andre.

Great fun this is seeing all these amazing pictures. 

John I really like the trolley line in the street it's something that I considered once but never happened.

Great photos something about a main Street as we call it in Australia unfortunately I don't have one anymore but I do have a couple of modules I could do something with ! I have photos of a bus station I am building on a module but can't find them at the moment when they turn up I will post them anyone else have a Bus Depot? Roo.

What nice inspiring work by everybody! Thanks for posting!

Here are mine....I am trying to re-creat a Bronx commercial distrct from the 50s. These are underconstruction pics....as the buildings are being built, placed and before/after sidewalks.

Still a lot to be done.

Peter

Let's go back to a previous layout.....1993-2003...attic of a previous house.....

Peter

Lastly, the business/commercial district of the River City 3 Railers modular layout...

I like your flag, Peter.

Is it a download?

Cheers

Peter.

I'll tell you what mate, when you get the sidewalks and other details in place that is going to look fantastic. Thanks for posting. Roo.

This is my first post on the OGR forum. I'm building a small (10 foot by 5 foot) O gauge model railroad as a retirement activity. Resumed the hobby in 1997 after a lapse of about 40 years. These photos show the "downtown" section - still under construction. Will be making several more buildings and then adding streets, sidewalks and details.

Here's mine;

Well...many of you know that this topic is close to my heart..LOL!!  I don't have a lot new to contribute because I haven't worked on the layout for a couple of months...so....I will just post my Youtube videos.

Thanks!

Alan

There are so many great scenes posted here. My own layout isn't up to this level yet. I am sharing a video of the Equestra Train Club's Christmas Layout.

This is the third year. The layout is in our community clubhouse. The HOA BOD said that we couldn't expand the footprint; but they didn't say anything about the air rights. The are two downtown scenes, the O gauge one with E-Z Streets and an HO downtown. The HO Viaduct was specially made by Silk City Bridgeworks. Thanks John! Here is the link.

These are from my NY layout dismantled in July. I haven't started construction of the new Florida layout.

Joe. Great photos and modelling mate can't wait to see your new layout.

Chris, good stuff so many great photos hard to keep up with everything. Roo.

Thanks, Peter.

I'll keep on looking.

Cheers
