It's always helps to have photos of the prototype before you build a scene.

Here's some photos from the Toronto Archives of the Port Credit radial car line in 1927. Each photo has a description at the bottom of the photo.

When I hover them with my mouse, they turn into live links. They work fine.

How come, no matter which pic I look at in their collection, there always seems to be snow on the ground?

Well, almost always.

How about a real snow photo? King at John 26 January 1961:
