I played around with a layout theme "West of Houston at about 1980" to run my Santa Fe CF7 and GP7u. The stack of containers in one background spot would not be wrong but not the best choice for 1980. A toyed around with a simple structure made of corrugated steel.

The corrugated steel needs some explanation. Kurt did a superb structure some month ago using corrugated steel. He pointed me to Campbell #805. I was shocked about he price/size ratio of the sold product. It would be very expensive to build an entire structure from Campbell #805.
A German shop sells corrugated aluminum about 8" * 11.5" for €5.21. My little test structure consumed about a half plate worth a bit more then €2.
The shop is http://architekturbedarf.de Architekturbedarf. Alluminium Wellblech 1mm Part# 8450, 388020. They claim to ship everywhere but I did not see a English version of the web page.
May be this page with all kind of corrugated metal http://www.architekturbedarf.de/Shop/Mod...etall.html makes it easier to use that source.
