I am not O scale. (I do own some O scale in storage) My thought is to consider the contents of a kit as a starting point. Dont blindly follow the name of the kit. For example, "Gas Station" if it represents a older era you could use it on a modern pike as a Antique store. <br /> <br />Towns generally follow the track. You would have a depot which is very near the heart of the town. Usually a Drug Store, Dentist, Bank, Hardware, Tavern, and several "Flats" or residences. <br /> <br />Cities were there first the track came later. Which is why sometimes you find a Locomotive and 8 cars lumbering down a city street that seems to fill the entire space from curb to curb. <br /> <br />My two cents <br /> <br />Lee
