One of my favorite TV shows was Green Acres. I also watched Petticoat Junction a lot, so when I decided to join our church's train club that my husband was in I chose to make a Green Acres/Petticoat Junction layout. It took a lot of research, work and time, but I love it, and it gets rave reviews at train shows. You would be surprised at how many people loved those old shows. Even teenagers who watch TV Land get to see Green Acres. (Thanks TV Land for putting it back on). And by the way dknelson, I do have the girls in the water tower. After the first show I took my layout too, I decided it needed Pixley added, so I extended the layout and added the town. I first bought a Spirit of 76 Mantua 4-6-0, which was a duplicate of the Tyco Cannonball, and painted it to look like the Cannonball. But it didn't run well, so I kept watching e-bay and just last week bought a Tyco Cannonball. It arrived on Friday, and we had a train show yesterday (Sunday). After cleaning the wheels and giving her a little push she ran great. I'm always thinking of things to add. It's been great fun.
