Has anyone tried to build buildings from Popsicle sticks as a frame and hen added sides and decals?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a 1950's engine that would be used for mining.

That deer looks like it knows what is happening. It has a nervous expression on it's face.

I just finished building my mountain. Time to decide what I am going to do about my mine. Any suggestions?

Anyone know where I can buy cheap buildings that would work for a fiftys era?

yeah... I've seen pictures of the worlds largest model trainset. they have actually gotten it set up that every 45 minutes, it goes from day to night for fifteen minutes.

Anyone know how to make quality streets at a relatively low price.

To let you know what kind of size I am dealing with, I have 2 4x8 tables with a conecting bridge. Just telling those wondering about size.

All of this sounds real nice. I will try to incorporate things from what everyone has said. Does anyone know where I can get a revolutionary, or civil war era cannon at a fair price. I will say that I am a fan of the smoky mountain area, if there is anything anyone can say about that I would be grateful.

I am going for mid 20th century,industrial, permanent, and has a mine and some farms on the outskirts.

I need some ideas on how to build a good size town. I am a big baseball fan. If anyone can help me with that, I would be very grateful.
