Small Town Ideas
Peter Field from South Africa has kindly offered this follow-up to Keith’s question on planning a small town rural layout.
Peter writes:
“Before I started my present layout I roughly drew up a layout as I stay in a city and we have a historic village some 15kms from I opted to go for the rural scene made a small village with small shops etc and church of course. I also opted for three small businesses/factories and settled for a Furniture factory, a Car maintenance plant, a water house, and a scrap dealer. I made up two farms; one a maize farm, the other a general farm.
My layout is 5.5m x 1.5m wide big enough for me to control. Good Luck. Here are two pictures of the farm and village.”
Thanks for sharing the photos Peter.

As, I see it, you are in scenery than train, There are only two straight tracks that I can see.
It is OK, each is own.
Leo, take a closer look. The top photo, if you look closely at the top left, you can make out a train track going though the village. Bottom photo, look very closely at the bottom right corner, there is a curve track. So I think he has a train going around his village.
