Buildings, industries, and whatever

Prior to this writing I have not decided on the names of all the stores that would be included on the main street of the town, though I have a general idea of the mix.

The following stores I'm considering for Main Street are nods in one way or another to family members, many of whom are now departed.

• Mary Clare's Books and Magazines
• Eugene's Hardware Store
• Kelly's Pool Hall  (Downtown Deco Trackside Tavern)
• Meg's bakery
• Boor pharmacy
• Laura Mae's Wedding Boutique
• Lucille's Diner (I may try to turn one of my old passenger cars into this)

I also want to have an A&W Drive In (based on Woodland Scenics D's Diner).

Most of the town buildings will be constructed from DPM (Design Preservation Models) kits or from DPM modular sections (which I was fortunate enough to buy in bulk at a swap show).

Other structures (kits unless otherwise noted) I've purchased to be on the layout are:

• Stoney Brook Bridge (Branchline Trains)
• Pennsylvania Power and Light (Northern Light and Power - Walthers Cornerstone)
• Wood Coaling Tower (Walters Cornerstone)
• Yard Tower
• Water Tower
• Yard Office
• Roundhouse (already built and nicely weathered)

I intend to scratch-build the following:

• Columbia County Tractor Supply
• REA

I've also picked up a handful of buildings at swap meets that I may use for other industries.
