[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jzmsvm</i> <br /><br />Ok, I'll throw this in the ring just 'cause it's different.[:)] <br /> <br />I would use the $10,000 to build my dream town in miniature. It would be a conglomerate of the towns from "The Turman Show", "Pleasantville", and every small town depicted in Fannie Flagg novels. I would start with the town square, including a brick courthouse, a bronze war memorial and a band shell. I would then build homes and local stores, slowly moving out to the farm houses and barns on the outskirts. We can't forget to throw in white picket fences, rose bushes and laundry on the line in the backyard. The train station would always be crowded with family members coming to visit and kids going off to college. <br /> <br />Some of the money would go into buying the small details like windows and doors from Grandt Line and building supplies from Topez or Garden Texture. But the majority would be used on all the extraneous stuff that takes a garden railroad village from filling in space between the tracks to making you want to be small enough to live there. <br /> <br />So that is my contribution, Capt. Carrales. I hope it is what you were looking for. [swg] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Excellent, I think a railroad that can "go places" is a great idea. I plan to have three settlements. All rural of course. I also believe that, since $10,000 is not at our ready disposal, there is an element of patience and gradual building. <br /> <br />I have learned to wait and save up for things. Thanks, you post was most definately in the spirit of the Thread. We may have to "spin off" this thread based on some of the replies. <br /> <br />Thanks <br />
