A few pictures of the landscaping work underway on the layout. The current focus has moved past the Kwiky Mart and on the the section of town near the railroad station. For the layout I'm modeling the 1980's, so for this town, the area near the train station has seen better days. The conveinience store is the most modern thing around and it's an optimistic business venture based on having enough traffic derived from the train station, the local businesses and the proximity of some housing (the apartments are adjacent to the store) to make a go of it.
The businesses are definitely on the low end representing light industry and commercial endeavors that don't mind the close proximity to the railroad tracks.

| Here's Chesapeake Road looking south. We're at the intersection of Butler Street. |
 |
| Another view of the station showing Lackawanna Street in the foreground. |
 |
| Lackawanna Street looking north. Miami Street is on the left where the State Trooper sits. |
 |
| Similar to the preceding image, this shows the paved lot in front of t he Plasticville factory. |
 |
| More of a street view. The 'grassy' area is a vacant lot. |
 |
| Flipping the camera around we see the intersection of Warren Street and Lackawanna Street. |
 |
| The buildings are just resting on the table. I'll have to address the warped resin in the left hand building, |
 |
| Lackawanna Street curves around this building. While the public entrance is off Warren Street, the freight entrance is here. These buildings are produced by Armorcast. They are intended for the tabletop gaming market, but they can work with S and give a nice change from the Plasticville landscape so common amongst hi-railers. |
