Yep - aside from the hotel, they're all Clever kits or kitbash kits. The only plastic in the shot below are the hopper cars...
Great tip from David - we probably all ballast using that alcohol/glue trick, but it stands to reason that it should be used for scenery! Gonna give that a go in the next few days while we're hunkered down and home blowing snow.
Speaking of bashing, I though I'd add a sidewalk on two sides of the Coal Dealer and remembered I had some old plastic sheeting with embedded blocks from an old plastic kit. Cut out a corner of it and glued the cardstock bottom to the painted plastic using some Tacky Glue. Makes a nice base.
