PS...... I just successfully posted this phto in another forum...... SO, the problem must be with the MR forum . Do any other Flicker users have trouble here in the MR forum ?

My flour mill wraps aound a corner in the layout room. 

Sorry ..... Can't show photo until I figure out what to do. 

 

 

Please show another industry. 

Edit.......  Evidently, Flickr is messing around with how we post here. 

I wish IT people would stop messing things up !

Well, construction is still about a year away on the next STRATTON & GILLETTE layout, but here is a scene with some work going on. This is on Mr. Muffins new layout location in Atlanta, Indiana.

He was working very hard on this project while we were there. I'll be the rest of the scenery will be in very soon.

I am not sure about the iconic part, but 3 buildings about the same vintage as Kevin's Atlas Roadside Cafe (looks like Howard Johnsons)

The Atlas ranch style house at right rear
The green Revell Suburban house; a clone of their farm house
The Revell school, a clone of their depot
All on my layout and all 3 from one of my 1960s layouts. All have had some restoration work done
