There are scratchbuilt retaing walls and tunnels, with a scratchbuilt trestle bridge.
The streambed trickles into a small 'lake' for the train area and the small 50's town of Somewhere, Texas.  

Please note the darling little 'eggliner' running on the track at the moment....

Texaco Station (Complete) modeled on my grandfather's station that he owned for almost 50 years. (See the complete story with more pictures farther down on the index)
The lake cabin  plays host to a cute couple for a day of picnicing, sun and fishing.  The dock leads down to a fishing pier and a row boat.

The secluded gazebo hosts an 'artiste' and a lovely scantily clad model in pursuit of artistic enlightenment....
Uncle Sam hosts a fireworks stand.

There are lots of buildings still in the planning stage:
  • Church
  • 50's diner
  • other miscellaneous buildings - whatever we think up...
