... the start of returning of brick?...

Well, it is the easy bricks only.... small SmalltownUSA and Walthers kits for commercial buildings. The bricks are by far not as dominating as huge brick industry would be. Be warned to kit bash modern shortline engines (e.g. GP7U or GP10 in year 2000+ paint schemes) you might end up like me in a rural area

I starred all evening on my layout thinking about the buildings. Something was very wrong with the overall impression. The missing sidewalks ruined the small town impression and a second look with streetview at Antwerp did not permit any excuse. Continuous sidewalks are mandatory! The building subproject is on hold and the sidewalks got priority #1 this morning.



It takes some time to get used to the small dimensions of those kits. Two of them fit easy into the odd shaped area between the tracks.
