"Details....details...."
The only guy older than me in our division uses that phrase fairly often - mostly when we don't know how we're going to pull a rabbit from a hat.
In the case of the area around the coal breaker, I'm hunting down some details (industrial, junk, people, vehicles, and other knick-knackery to give the feel that there's still a lot going on in the area. The recent "Party boat" and "Santa's Workshop" threads reminded me that the the bottom of my box of railroad stuff are some Inter-Action Hobbies kits that I bought last winter and include Telephone booths, Coke and Ice machines. Perfect! It's time to get to work. While I'm at it, I can also put together the free "Christmas Tree Farm Shack" kit. It's a good diversion from my recent glut of DCC installs and boxcar mods. Variety is the spice of life!
