Here's some of what's not currently not on the layout, (mostly but not all PENNSYLVANIA)(I brightened the photo since I have not yet come up with a good lighting solution for these nice hardwood-flooring-wood shelves made by my friend Greg):
Very impressive collection of engines you have, Jeff! The shelves look great.

Peter, I love the tables and chairs on the sidewalk in the first photo. I can't see what business they are outside of but I imagine it's a cafe or restaurant. It's a neat detail that is usually not modeled. That street makes a really nice scene.

Hi JEFF, I lived on 9th and McKinley Sts., right down from the Tungsol blue water tank. Do the names Citro, Stank, Rusnock, Kapes, Smith, ring a bell? What was your WIFE’s maiden name? Just curious, man that brought back memories.

Just curious, man that brought back memories. The names are familiar from hearing my wife mention them (I can't tell you how many times I heard her say, "my first bike came off Joe Addy's dump truck", 😂). She was an Oswald. She's one of eight so you must have known someone from the family or the parents. Her mom was a Lepere, the family owned Lepere's bar. A couple years back I went on Google Street view for pics of the Tung sol water tank for research for modeling. That was right by their house. I never made a model of it though. But here's the pic. Would look cool in a small city scene, maybe to hide a support beam or something.

I could see the whole family just couldn’t get the name. World is getting smaller huh. Yes they are the twin tanks there. When I grew up there was just the one,in the rear. I did make one up and have it on the layout, but not to scale.

Jeff, how did you get Flikr photos to show in your post? I'm not having any luck posting photos from Flikr.

Jeff, how did you get Flikr photos to show in your post? I'm not having any luck posting photos from Flikr. Hi Joe. Check the forum tech section. I posted a thread there for it. Here o-gaugeforum.com/thread/118/flickr-posting-picturesOnce you get the process down it's not bad, but it seems like you need to be in desktop mode in Flickr and not in quick reply on the forum.
