Absolutely beautiful Sandro! Hmm.. anyone think we can convince him to make some videos of the layout?
visit, yes, live, no...I like where I am now. Less than 10 inches of rain a year and NO SNOW!!!!! Besides, just like my beloved SP, BC Rail is dead, and BC rail would be my third choice of a prototype to model (SP 1, 3 ft D&RGW 2)
With street lighting as bright as that, yes, I'd live there: no domestic lighting bills required!!! Great model. Regards, Pete Davies
No way,no how..Its nothing more then another sleepy headed dead hick town like Bucyrus with very little to do.. Nice modeling though.
What no Dollar General, no Food Lion, no Walmart, ahh but I did find a Denny's. On the other hand with all those Bikers hanging around and those loud Harleys it could mess with the property values some. Naww I'll stay in Da Falls Gulch. Nice layout though and great interior detailing.
it has : - a 7/11 - a denny's - a canadian tire - a butcher - a 'the body shop' - tourist information - liquor store - radio shack - several clothes stores - a xxx studio - a dancing - a steak house - a blockbuster video - a motel - a nearby engine facility - and best of all : a pwrs store
Well, if 40% have curtains, that's different. Still, they do leave all their lights on . . . Andy Tetus Uma
Where the only bikers are of the pedel variety with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement? At least Falls Church has Dogwood Tavern and Maneki Neko but for all the time I lived there, I never found the falls.
The town I grew up in had one barber, one variety store, one service station, 2 butcher shops, a beer distributor, a volunteer fire company, a used car sales lot, a post office, two manufacturing plants who shipped by rail, a school, three churches, a beauty parlor, hardware store, one doctor one mine tipple [loadout point] and thirteen bars. It was said to be a place where more people got loaded than boxcars or hoppers.
Well the Falls Church name is from the Great Falls of the Potomac and then although it was a right good buggy ride the folks who built the Falls Church came up with that name and then the town took it's name from the Church of that name. In the old days one could ride the electrics down to Cherrydale and then switch to the trolley that ran to the falls.
I knew that, I just find it humorous. (I have to admit that I learned it after I searched the internet looking for any falls in Falls Church back when I lived there in 2008.)
QUOTE=BoxcabE50;837695]Nice building. I am a little confused. Okanogan County must have been moved north? [/QUOTE] Not really, you get North of the 69th and it is Okanagan. Those of us North of the Border put the change in spelling in the USA down to the general problem Americans seem to have when it comes to spelling. mg: Best regards from the North Okanagan Valley.
What had me curious is there is no "County" in BC of the name. Besides, you folks cannot spell very well either. Somehow you errantly spell Kootenai as being Kootenay.
You're living in the wrong country Sandro! Your town needs a Tim Horton's to be genuinely Canadian. I think you could be very happy living on Vancouver Island from Victoria up to Courtney has some of the best weather in Canada, and not the rain we get here in Vancouver, or even more where I live in Deep Cove on the North Shore: http://www.google.ca/search?q=tim+h...rIKPUiAKX6PnoBQ&ved=0CC8QsAQ&biw=1280&bih=709
I'm impressed; yes, it has some resemblance to that desert known as "reviled - stoke"...(I'm a former BC'er, so I'm allowed to pick on the 'stoke)...Really nice work Sandro; It looks like Puddington Valley consist (just south of the Kettle Valley Sub...in my world) will have to have way bills for the Okanagan and your pike very soon........... Congrats on a first class effort.................
