He says he doesn't have a car. But he does have a locomotive! Do you have to pay to use the rail network when you travel on it?

I wouldn't want to pay the fuel bill!

Evening all, as always, the very best.
Here are two photos of a little roadside business that is one of my models on my workbench at the moment,
About 70 per cent finished.
What I am looking for is a very simple building that might have existed,
Features.
Trying to reproduce walls made with builders' paper, yes, they used paper for quick builds where transport was difficult and painted surfaces only, like the roof,
More to follow

Nice, Kim. Will it be a food stand?

I think the roof might leak. -- Russ

 Only if it rained.

Modular building on a scale of 1/32 to 1/32.
As always, wishing you all the very best of health,
My minimum space display, known as Sandy Hollow or Hollow, keeps on going; basically, it is a display unit that can be moved around with the minimum of fuss,
The working train part is on the top, while the combination of the travel boxes offers the opportunity for a singular display diorama
Think of the transformer toys as an example.
Individual lighting options; nothing is wasted,
New signage and photo backdrops are taken care of by fellow forum member Volker Gerisch.I love working with Volker he always knows what I want and has options,
Cheers,

Artistically compact, Kim, both the diorama and travel boxes.

I really like your style! So many modellers seems to be using other modellers models as prototypes, but your work is refreshingly original.

I look forward to seeing how the diorama progresses. -- Russ

Thank you all for your interest,
Yes large scale minium space, but also how can you get your displays to an acceptable viewing height when you don't want to travel with a frame
My problem is what to put in and what to delete,
My display boxes that can be stacked are made of a combination 1 ,3 ,6,9 and 15 mm pine veneer plywood. Most are cut by my local panel supplier, but I also have a detail-cut table saw at Home.
These boxes are strong but also light, but the trick is what you can do with these boxes.
Lights, sound, backscenes in layers, fun and games
Remember everything has to fit into our boxes: power supplies, controllers etc.
Cheers
