Nudge the right side up a bit more too :-) Just a scosh.

Sorry, my visual alignment brain is weird sometimes...

I think that all it would take would be to square the right post to the sign.  The sign appears to be square to the left post, but the right post is leaning in towards the top.

Went back and redid, using styrene posts and sign boards on both sides, looks so much
better.

Anxious to hear how the layout survived the move to Ardmore.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Layout did great, lost a few telephone poles that I am finally going to replace today and get it up and running.
Going to make a few modifications to change the theme from Colorado to Oklahoma. We are on the BNSF main
from Fort Worth to OKC.

My first wife was born and raised in Ardmore.  She always said it was a 'railroad town'.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Wow, I think the Ardmore scene even better than the Wellington one! I like those buildings.

Thanks Ham and Ed. Getting there. Those are cool flats from the Gateway NMRA site. They have
a bunch of real photos photographed from the front. http://www.gatewaynmra.org/model-railroad-downloads/

Whoa, thanks for the link, Chuck! I hadn't stumbled across that page before.

I once suggested (I think on another forum) that we all post straight-on shots of our structures, so they could be downloaded and combined into custom backdrops.

But all I heard was crickets.  :facepalm:

There we some posted on one of the train boards, but they looked like the old ones
that came in those rolls in the 80's. These look great, they are real photos. The one
modern Pikestuff looking building is one of those, but digital dynamics, it came from

Sizing up some scenes with some of the new purchases in Ardmore, PA (BNSF RED ROCK SUB).






Note: M.C. I found another one of those SP tankers that are good for nothing but to turn into a fuel tank.
