Ed I’m really happy to hear that your dad made it through the treatment and is doing better.

Thanks! It's kinda amazing actually, I think the experience actually made him even better.

Wait... that's a corner building. It doesn't "face" one street. Besides, the more interesting side of the building would be facing the front of the layout.

The arrangement below puts the less interesting side of the building facing front.

It does indeed. But that's what I've got to deal with. I need the back of those buildings facing the right side of the module because  they theoretically back up to the chemical plant next door.

I drew this up to help explain how I'm adapting everything.



As you can see, I'm having to take some geographic liberties here.

The "side" of the building (that current faces Bridge Street) is going to have a small alley between it and the tracks.

The tracks themselves are going to look like this (if the street along them was slightly busier).



Does that help it make more sense?

[Ed Kapuscinski]

I wasn't happy with the building color as is, so here it is mid-update. I'm drybrushing some brown on top. I cleaned it up some more after this photo.



And here's a top down shot of the thing.

I recognize that grey building next to it!  Glad its getting used.

Oh yeah man! I'm hoping it'll still fit as I adjust things. I've been wanting to make sure it gets a good public spot on the last couple of projects but haven't had much luck.

Well *****. Now you've got me thinking...  Hmm.

You sort of answered all of your own questions when you drew this:



All I did was turn it into a plan.

This threads making me want to fire up the table saw, hope I can get some time soon to actually go on some similar adventures.

Doooooo it!

I get no greater satisfaction than inspiring others to get off their butt.

So... should I stop working on my building?

The question is: Who will host the next Op's session.  Me, you, or Dave.

Unless you want two versions of it, yes.
