This is left side of layout with trolley track over the scissor crossover.
This is where a mountain was created with tunnel. Upper level will be future carnival with operating Lemax rides.
The town site homesteaded by flimsy Plasticville. Later the population grew and moved uptown to sturdy Woodland Scenic buildings. To far left, we added a 4 track rail yard and 3 track engine caboose facility, new since moving to new home.
Here is the western end of town on other side of tracks. Because I model ficticious P&WV RR, it was bought out by N&W in 1965. The N&W extended into Iowa southern boarder at Imogene Iowa, thus the town name, though great artistic licence was taken since they did not have a trolley system and in reality was a wide place in the road with no depot or industry that I could trace.
And of course accidents do happen, as the drunk driver crossed the road into the ditch knocking down the founding father's tree planted in his honor.

Today I came upon pictures of our layout when we were just starting in 2007 or so. So grabbed my camera and attempted to photographed from approximate same angles as old one today 2014. Apologize that after pictures are blurry. maybe camera battery giving out. Wasn't sure to post here or in scenery forum. The after pictures are since moving to new home while before ones are at old home we lived in for 29+ years.
Wife and I have come along way we think, especially since I learned which end of the paintbrush to hold 
and applying Sculpamold over chickenwire etc, plus a generous helping of Woodland Scenic material and booklets didn't hurt either.
!! WOW !!
