In addition to meeting lots of builders I admire and getting tons of inspiration
to build, my trip to NMRA in Philly enabled me to pick-up the bricks I needed to
complete this street on my layout.
<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=193311>
It is supposed to replicate a busy industrial street with trucks being loaded
and unloaded and such. There is also the light yellow car repair ship that Tim
Gould pointed out to me from a model train layout here:

The street itself was something I had wanted to do for a while . . . a paving
stone (cobble stone) look. I was fortunate enough to run into the right qty of
1x2 dark bley tiles at a low enough cost to make it less expensively than if I
had used dark grey 1x4 bricks as I have on my other roads.
The opposite side of the street will be an industrial canal.
Comments, thoughts, ideas, always welcome!
Thanks,
Jonathan
