My Town Blueprint

[SavaTheAggie]

For those of you who do not regularly visit my photostream on Flickr, I've finally started planning my personal home layout. It's gone through several iterations, and finally was given a huge improvement by RocketSeason.

(click for details on what everything is)

My idea for my town is twofold. First, the general theme of my town is to mimic the hundreds of small towns I've driven through in Texas, where they have a single main street, lined by Cafe Corner style shops and buildings, with everything else being very rural and/or residential. These towns sprung up around highways, and for the most part saw their peak long ago. But, at least for me, still hold a lot of charm.

The other idea is that my layout will be home to a heritage railway, "Sava Railways", which runs steam train excursions and have revitalized the local economy through tourism. Of course my layout is far too small for an actual 'excursion', but that doesn't matter. :)

Of course it also produces the by-product of finally giving me a way to display my train MOCs.

i love reading the "history" that your town layout has... very cool. i really enjoy that type of city development.
