I'm posting this a little before it's completely finished but I like the look so much I wanted some input before I went any further! I would love some "constructive critisism and don't be afraid to hurt my feelings as I want to get it right from the start. Please be specific so I can understand and determine if it is something I want to add or not. Thanks for looking,Pat

Hi Belg, The structures look great and the detailing is very nice, the only thing I see that needs doing is to paint the rails. They really pop out and distract the eye. Nice work.

The whole scene is great Belg.
You say it's not finished yet so I guess you'll be fitting chimneys to the buildings. I suggest the advertisements on the fence could do with a bit of weathering, but heck, that's just being picky.
The scene is terrific just the way it is. Well done.
Oh, ain't you got a steamer instead of a diesel? ...

Very good job. The structures look great.
A few things you might want to consider adding could be an old car or pick up truck, a few chairs on the porch, a couple of lazy dogs laying around or even a dog house.

Might I suggest a "stove pipe" instead of chimneys? That general store just looks like a place for a "pot bellied stove." The shed doesn't need anything.
Thanks for the kind words guys I would like to say that the suggestions were just about what I expected. The rails and ballast will probably be one of the projects i'm not sure if it will ever get done but the truck and the weathering were on my list, believe it or not there is actually already a stove pipe coming out of the Hardware/welding shop it just doesn't show in the photo. I also plan on putting in some overgrowth and pipe storage rack.
And yes there are quite a few steamers in the inventory but I'm reserving those for when I have everything cleaned.And what about the LPB's nobody is looking out for them but they will also be installed.

Great work!
Any scene can always use more junk scattered about. Not that your scene is lacking, but you can always add more. I guess you could overdo it eventually, but on a layout it would take a lifetime. Adding junk to a finished layout or scene keeps the modeling aspect alive and brings the model to life.
I always thought if only I could have Shamus's junk box, I could model anything

The cab of a rusted out 1920's Pickup, with stuff piled where a bed
used to be. Then maybe some kids in it playing like it's a fort.
Hmmm... Better yet a ,very broken down, remains of a
covered wagon... With stuff piled up in it.
...and that undergrowth you spoke of.
Yup! That do it.
Looks fine other wise.

Good looking scene! I'm with the advocates of track painting and stove type adding. Other than that you're set! Nice work weathering the wood and I really like the signs on the fence.

After reading your post, I went back and looked and I did see that stove pipe hiding in the shadows on the back side of the roof.

looking good the only suggestion i could make is a little growth around foundation to blend buildings into ground
