Starting it off for the week with a picture of downtown Hoovertown - a work in process.  Regarding the bathrooms in the park:

Growing up in Kentucky I traveled through many small towns that had town squares / parks in the center.  Most of them had bathrooms (outhouse or flush toilets) in their parks.  Most all of the merchants surrounding the parks had signs that said "Bathrooms for customers only" or something similar.

Scale Trains just announced on Facebook that their new locomotive will be a GE Tier 4 GEVO. There will be several versions (I think 11?) with all the prototype details. The Facebook stream was choppy so I do not have much other information such a when it would be available. These Tier 4 locomotives are longer than the existing top of the line locomotives because of all the exhaust treatment necessary to get Tier 4 rating. So this would have to be all new tooling.

Does any one know if some one took over the SceniKing product line? Just looked at their website and it appears they stopped filling orders in 2015.

I'm looking for four of their M001s to string together.

Anyone know of similar backdrop products to  SceniKing where the bottom of the back drop image lines up nicely with the flat sub-roadbed and images like trees are lined up to scale at the front of the back drop?

Good day,
