Since my layout is late 1800’s and early 1900’s Southwest, I had to place a window rock on the layout. Normally a window rock does not have two tracks running though it and rarely does it have an overhead stream and waterfall. There are a bison herd, an old cabin, and a lake with boaters. But even more.

Larry, it’s part of what makes this hobby fun for me. I like to make things realistic, but at the same time I’ve put some things onto the layout which are not realistic. I like it, and that’s the important thing. Thanks for the photo!
Thanks and I put a few Star Wars characters in the lower tunnel.

Not to be a “Debbie Downer”, but my big concern in the picture is what appears to be track with brass rails.
I have a Thomas who pulls a boxcar of embalming fluid and a flat car of caskets, a migratory Tardis, and plans to install a clown in the sewer grate on the (as yet unnamed) main street through town
Imagine “Welcome to Derry” meets that episode of Doctor Who where all space and time exists simultaneously
How about “Palpatine Way”? 
. You also might need a “The Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Sales and Repair Shoppe”.

has anybody put ‘beetlejuice’ (from the first movie) on their layout?
Just say the executives in charge of the railroad decided an occasional minor flood of two main lines was preferable to almost daily track washouts.
I’ll check on that. A 36" flex may have sneaked in. When I got back in the hobby after 30 years I had a lot of stuff from the 80’s and from my brother. The layout has a few sections of steel track which I plan to remove.
The current project is naming buildings after great-grandkids. Got the idea when I built Campbell’s Susannah’s Frocks. It now Savannah’s Frocks. Just put together an old Woodland Scenics Ice House and added Walker’s Block Ice. Got three more to do. I make the signs in Word and reduce the font and size to HO scale.
The Timberline 146-595 Carpenter Shop has my grandfather’s name and the Dyna 300 Shoemaker has a great uncle’s name, since these were their professions. Of course Columbia Gazette Campbell 380-795 was converted to a doctor’s office and named Doc Adams after Gunsmoke’s doctor.
