Good idea, but I'd probably get so caught up in the plane ride I'd forget all about why I was up there...[:p] (lol) Tracklayer Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, August 27, 2005 7:16 AM Yeah.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Tracklayer I recently drove through a little north Texas town a few weeks ago that was off the beaten path, and struck me as the perfect train layout community. It had a general type store with a gas pump out front, a bank, post office and several scattered houses. I think it may have also had an old ball type water tower. The only signs I recall were a 35 mph speed limit sign and the stop signs at the four way stop at the cross roads in the middle of town. I don't know if I'll ever actually build a town for my layout, but if I do, I'd like to have a plan. Anyone have any better suggestions ?. (Please tell me you do...)
