New computer is here,it arrived about 15 minutes ago YAY!.
Now back to our regularly scheduled thread.Plans today include trying to sort out how I want the business district to look. I like the looks of street running so the mainline will go right down the center of my little town.
How does "TYSONVILLE" sound for a town name?
:mrgreen:

Maybe Rayleside?
Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - faraway - 09-06-2015
How about a short "Tyra". Fits on every sign.
Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Tyson Rayles - 09-06-2015
Actually the name should be Grande Valley, same as it's namesake railroad.
The town would have been named first of course. 
Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Catt - 09-07-2015
There is a real Grand Valley,MI. but it ain't worth naming a railroad after it.
I suppose I could call it Katoville or Atlastowne,maybe even Bachmannton. The railroad's homebase is Hugart Yard in Grand Rapids,MI. which actually was a Grand Rapids & Indiana railyard in the beginning,but this town ain't no Grand Rapids.

Looks like one of your boxcars (and a couple of Pete's) have wandered all the way down to North Carolina!

Everytime I look at the first picture I find something I need to change.There are several kinks in the track work that need to be straightened out before I can "pave" the street and add sidewalks.
The new version of the GVR is 8'10" by 10'6" the town is on the 8'10" dimension. The biggest problem I am having is fitting my favorite buildings into a believable pattern. :wait:

Ok, I'm going to let this thread die a slow natcheral death.Either tonight or tomorrow I will start a new thread called Grande Valley Railway in N version 4.0.
Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Tyson Rayles - 09-12-2015
Why let this thread die?
