Some more area work done.

Looks like the hotel may have some foundation problems as that tree in back grows bigger. Might want to see about having an arborist move it a bit further away.

Yeah it's perfect where it is, where i live the tree roots are in the sewer lines and bouncing off the basement walls. Just a fact of life.

one thing that stands out when I look at your layout.  That is why the space on the outside of the rails on road crossings?

[Grumpy468]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Terry Toenges]

Are you going to continue the roads on the other side of the crossings? In some, you have the road leading to the crossing, then the crossing and nothing on the other side.

The next time get to a railroad crossing, take a good look at it.  then look at the way you make yours. You will see that there is not a gap on the outside of the rails.

Hi Grumpy that is a nice looking engine shed ---can you tell me who makes it?

[Grumpy468]

Graywolf, that is a Walthers kit.

[Ken Huck]

Those sure are some nice looking crossings.

Thanks for the pics.

I added an extra board to fill in the gaps, Wounded bear and myself split a whole bunch of scale lumber, it has come in handy.

Back to the houses. I am stuck right now, so i put everything back on the layout to see what the overall look is, need to continue with the landscaping. Still working from the middle out. But i am placing my company houses in my residential are to get some ideas on how to move forward.
