Trainluver1, thank you for bringing out a, all too often, over-looked deminsion of this wonderful hobby. I am involved in the more "seamy" side of a city scape for too many reasons to post here. Some of the "mini-scenes" portrayed on in this tapestry of city life (as I see it) are: A guy and a gal on a serious date in a 1948 Ford convertible [top down]; both are dressed in "graduation" attire, parked on "lovers lane;" another involves a poor wretch of a fellow passed-out on a park bench; I have a car dealership with a man bartering with the salesman while his wife and child look on; a kid clinging to the rear "fender" of a Peter Whitt street car; a portly woman leaning from a second story "row house" window barking at her inimidated spouse "on the run;" then the proverbial peek-a-boo gal on the 3rd floor taking a shower (forgot to pull the shade). There are too many more scenes of the expected e.g., passengers hustling on a platform (conveyer belt); broken down 1939 Ford coupe with the hood up, driver laboring on the motor with a Cop "over his shoulder" and traffic piled-up behind; a painter on a suspended "seat" finishing a deck overpass (primer red to sliver finish coat. Then the usual train personnel: Chef at a "dutch door" on the Dining car, Porter taking a smoke in open vestibule; folks taking air on a open observation car (standard) platform. On and on it goes. All said, I have too much "going on" for most visitors but it is intresting to observe which guest espys a particular "cameo." "That's life," and ain't it grand? Enjoy this "under played" feature, as I know you must. Happy rails to you.
