This shows Walther’s Merchant Row #1 and #4, both painted by a friend and part of the town square. I am going for a small Midwest town theme

This view shows Walther’s Merchant Row #5 and the town square which includes Woodlands Grand Gazebo and Ready Made Tree Pack. Trees are ok, but fall apart and break easy. The Life-Like hotel was inherited from my dad when he passed away.

Overall shot of my layout, it actually consists of 5 dioramas, the town, a farm, the lake, ski mountain, and a rail yard

Another overview, the mountain was formed with plaster cloth from Woodland Scenics over window screen. Works well, but tends to set very fast. In the foreground is the Petroleum Truck Loading Rack from Walthers. Lots of small parts, but easy to put together. The Shell oil tanks and old fire station

The lake/park. Made with Woodland’s Realistic Water, more of their trees, canoers, Memorial Park, Rail Fence Kit, Monroe’s Barn Yard Fence, and other items.

The farm acreage: grain bins, dryer, and elevator by Walther. When I bought the house, I’m sure it was called Bella’s Farmhouse by Model Power, but now the closest I see to it is Stevenson’s also by Model Power.

View of the Pike-Stuff 3 bay fire station and the Modern Gas Station by Walther’s. Again trying to get decals from local convenience stores for the gas station. All other buildings not described in other pictures were given to me but I believe they are all available from HobbyLinc.

Main portion of the ski resort. Black Forest Farm House by Kibri works well as a chalet and in the foreground is one of the platforms (package of 2) from Faller. The tram was cobbled together from various items. The trees are by Heki and work well for me.
