Your Layout Vignettes

Memories of  the old parking garage downtown.....

 

Alan

Give us two tickets please....

 

Alan

The view from the "elevated"....wonder who that girl is outside the tavern???

 

Alan

Always a dangerous place down there by the tracks:

 

 

Wonder if the blind guy is enjoying the checkers match?

Great work, love those Weaver gondolas too.

Looks like a "Shriner Semi" Walt!

Some action at the Farmer's Market. Local band playing music. My Lincoln Mark II got my nurse and I there. That's me in the wheelchair. (For real). That's a Bar Mills building with all the produce. I built the picnic tables.

Paul, that's neat the way you took advantage of that corner of your layout, and populated it as you did.

The view from the locomotive coming into the great train shed....

 

Alan

I can stand this as long as you can!  

 

 

Very nice scene.  Lots of depth!

Oil change is done!

Ag.

TRK- The little kitty wasn't big enough to eat?

Leavingtracks-Alan, I swear I'm in the train shed!

gene maag-nice, where or how did you get the signage?

 

 

AG-Your shots are great!

Lee- Can't say enough good stuff about your tacky non-PC trailer court!

To everyone else-Some excellent work and clever ideas.

Can you imagine all the combined talent shown here on one layout, it would be fantastic!  

You can almost hear the sounds of the city....

 

Alan

Even as night falls upon the great metropolis....it never goes to sleep....

Your cityscapes are outstanding, Alan. Loved your recent interview with Derek on Notch-6. It gave us great insight to your layout.

 

Thanks so much Jon...I really appreciate the compliments and encouragement!! 

 

Alan

AG,

I really like the detail on the oil change photo.  The mechanic looks very realistic.

Those smarty vendors know where to set up!

Here are a few more: Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if God don't take you, the devil must.

Labor Day weekend at the county park

Thanks to Menards, construction will begin shortly

Paul,

Is that your recently completed Idaho Hotel in the background of these last pictures?  It looks good in place, and the scenery on your layout looks great!

Mike,

It looks like the farmers are having good crops this year in Shawmut Country.  Your scenery looks great.  Lots of realistic detail!

Pedestrians must be careful on "South Bridge".....

 

Alan

Cool photo!  Reminds me of the Smithfield Street Bridge going from Downtown Pittsburgh to the Southside.  Now you need a trolley track running down one side.  It was a sight, cars and trucks, trolleys, and pedestrians.

It is late and as the city lights reflect on the side of the Surfliner coach, we wonder who will be boarding to travel during the dark of night....??

 

Alan

Time for the semi-annual fire inspection at the Regency Hotel....while the traffic on South Street is non-stop!!

 

Alan

Taxi!!...Taxi!!.....

Scenes at the suburban station......

Thanks again everyone for your kind remarks.

Mark Boyce-Good catch! Yes it is. I just put it there this morning to get a feel for where I want it. It will be in that general area, I'm just not sure exactly where. I'm waiting for my wife to give me her opinion. She has been a big help for me.

Paul,
A second set of eyes is always advisable, and the best belong to our wives.

Here's a few from the club layout

There is a reason I call it my Tacky Trailer Park . . . This remains the hit with visotrs and was one of the most fun things I've built.  Old mattresses - a sure sign of decline and poor standards when just thrown in a scrap heap in "the front yard" - are made from paper towels.
