Randy build as many buildings as you can and do a block at a time. Move the buildings around so you can see what goes well together; that is, looks interesting. Pay attention to the backs of the buildings; that is where you can have a bit of fun with it. Don't plan too much. It's not a planned city. Look around town and take pictures Every time you see an interesting scene take pictures. It will give you ideas. It looks like a fun project you're starting.
Spent the weekend working on clouds again, and working in the stairway leading up to the train room. This is the view walking up the steps. Almost done w/ clouds. Contractor will be here next weekend to put in cubby doors for access behind knee-walls and start molding everywhere. After that? On to flooring and then to "benchwork"!!!
