I like Cristopher was unable to quite finish my Diorama for the Town Contest
but I have submitted it anyway. I don't have time tonight to add text to the
pictures but I will do that soon. I just had to get the final set of pictures
up before the deadline tonight.
It is pretty self-explanitory anyway.

Eric-
Nice Job! Maybe our towns could be sister cities! It already looks
like we use the same phone company. ;)
I really like your streetlights and the dumpsters. The brown and orange
building reminds of Thanksgiving. I haven't considered using dk gray
for such a large building but it looks real good. How did you do the
sign on the white and blue building? Is it a plate and tiles on its
side or is bricks?
This is my favorite shot:

Are you going to add a second row of buildings on the other side of the
street?

Well the Brown and Orange building was a bit of an experiment and I don't think
its to bad although it definitely isn't one of my favorites. I wouldn't have
considered using dk gray either until we were able to order in from S@H. As
for the sign it is just a plate with tiles hung sideways with a bracket.

Great question. This particular layout was designed to fit into a very
specific area on the NELUG train layout for our next show. Once it is done I
have to consider where to go from there. I have been considering 3 options.
1. Do as you suggest and add a row of buildings directly opposite this set of
buildings.
2. Add a row of buildings opposite this one except have another road plate in
between. This will make it a 4 lane road with 2 lanes going in each direction.
Then I would have a trolly line running down in between the 2 sets of lanes.
3. Add buildings behind this layout. These would be more residential
buildings and let me do something different for a while.
I havn't given it a lot of thought because I have to finish this layout first.
After that my son will probably be getting mobile which means the LEGO gets
religated to the basement full time (and my basement isn't a place you want to
spend a lot of time).
Thanks,
Eric Kingsley
