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:

Moderato ma non troppo Perth & Exeter Railway Company Esquesing & Chinguacousy Radial Railway In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task. Most modellers can get two of them to work.

Actually the name should be Grande Valley, same as it's namesake railroad.
The town would have been named first of course.

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:
