Don't know much about steam but bought this recently. Hopefully it counts. If it does, show me another steam passenger locomotive.

Here is a rebuilt steam engine pulling a string of assorted cars as an excursion during the annual Railroad Days festival in the 1990s.

Please show me a house, maybe the one that you would live in if you lived on your layout.

Greenvale Village on my layout, still under construction. The ranch style house (Atlas) and the green house(Revell) were on one of my first layouts in the 60s; I have done some restoration work on them.

Show me some more village houses

I recently "discovered" an unused corner of my branchline and it was just begging for a scene like this... (still working on it)

More trackside houses, please. Bonus for tenements...

While I hope to eventually include a small neighbourhood on my layout, most of the real estate is occupied by track and the industries it serves.
A rail-related industry that's in most towns is a train station, and here's mine in Elfrida, the old-reliable offering from Atlas...

Show me your train stations. please.

Doc,

Great photo of your station!  The classic Fords make the scene and set the era.

Below is my city station in Dutchtown, New York.

Doc, I have the Atlas station in kit form and was planning to include it on my new layout, next to Ma's Place and the Ramsey Journal building. These classic and iconic kits look great with good paint on them

Back to the request for a freight house...

It's kind of small but the idea is not to store freight but get it out of the boxcar and into a truck as fast as possible.

Here's one of the Hoffentoth Bros. delivery trucks, stuck at the crossing in Lowbanks...

 

That red structure, beyond the locomotive, is the local Hoffentoth Bros. coal elevator.

Show me more trucks, please.
