N Scale Hi Rail - Retro Hollow Core Door Layout

[wm3798]

That will actually back up the platform of the little station up there.  It also provides a nice view block for the gigantic Caboose ground throw!

I have some Atlas Hairpin fencing... I'll compare and decide what I like best.
Thanks for the input.

Did a little mud work


Found a nice spot to go camping...



And used the leftovers to do some work on The Ditch.



Now I have to pretend I'm working

Did you use Trail Mix (from your camping trip) for ground cover on the embankment behind the tower? 

[wm3798]

You could say that...  its the collected detritus from the bottom of a bag of old trees from the WM layout.

I'm really liking that little urban corner you've got going! Surely the WM or PRR went through some very urban areas? You've also got the space to do one of those funky three-way none of these streets line up across this intersection scenes so very typically east coast (with a highway angling in from across the tracks). Slice off the farthest RH building from the store block, shift the block to the edge, put the sliced off building abutting the back of the traingular building thus moving it out from the backdrop but shifted to give track R.O.W., and you're almost there. 
 A rotary!  You'll need a rotary! With some old war statue/monument in the center!!

Additionally, this scenic choice very nicely hides the entrance to the lower hidden tracks.

No buildings will be altered, at least not in the original DKS sourced Magnusen models Merchants Row kit.
I'll leave the street patterns to the Department of Public Works.
Thanks again for the suggestions.

If you would use a small monument send me a PM.

I can't be the only one who was thinking rotary...

I think he meant roundabout or traffic circle. Maybe they call it a rotary in his area.

I don't think he's too far from my area and that would be the first time I've heard a roundabout described as a rotary.

I’m familiar with roundabout, or in rural Cecil County, Maryland, a “crop circle.”  When I think of a rotary, I think of this.

This immediately comes to mind to me for Rotary:

[wm3798]

Haven't really worked out what's happening there.  Somewhere I have a monument.  But I'm not sure about a roundabout.
It won't be a Rotary, though.  More likely  an Oddfellows!  Seems more suited to our temperament...

In my area (Massachusetts) , there were traffic signs stating "ROTARY" at the entrance to a rotary/roundabout/traffic circle, but it seems that in the last several years those signs have been replaced with "TRAFFIC CIRCLE" signs.

@OldEastRR may very well have moved here from the East.
Roundabouts here are a relatively new phenomena.  We've been getting more and more but I'd say they've really only been around for +/- 15 years.
They've always been roundabouts even by WSDOT nomenclature.
