In the Northeast

[P5se Camelback]

I chose Option #3, Der Cornerstone Bausatz Miss Bettie's Diner and a "not so clean" parking lot, with a garbage dumpster inside a tall paint-peeling wooden fence that has a double gate for the garbage/dumpster-dumper truck to have access. The two gate doors should be partially open, with extra trash and garbage on the ground inside the enclosure (as there always is.) But don't put too many cars in the parking lot ... lack of patrons due to a declining neighborhood is obviously reason the diner has become "sub-standard." I'm assuming this new, "sub-standard" diner would front on the new street and the rear of the diner with the dumpster in its enclosure in the parking lot, would face "in" for us to enjoy the view ... maybe a couple of cars with a few teenagers "hanging out" would be appropriate. I really do like the new developments!

But now ... Reinhard ... really ...!

"ps. The SP switcher has been added to make P5se Camelback feel more home on a north eastern named layout... "

I must say I truely appreciate the gesture of adding an Espee SW1500 (or whatever - I don't really know my modern-day diesels all that well ... MP1500?) ... but SP, Southern Pacific ... I haven't seen one of them since I lived out in Redondo Beach, near Los Angeles, California. (And now that I live way down the southwest coast of Florida I hardly ever see any kind of train!) :cry:

That said, who knows ... with all the railroad mergers going on, if I still lived in the Philadelphia area, I might even see an Espee locomotive! Stranger things have happened!

But, Reinhard ... I really DO appreciate the thought!
