So, the granddaughters decided that the first house on the mill hill is owned by one of our Greasers' dad. Seemed like it needed a little more to justify the hedge put up by those in the blue house next door. Woodland Scenics to the rescue! A couple more junk cars were added plus a rustier pick em up truck, a Model A frame with seats, and a couple of wheels in the back of the pickup. Problem is, the best I can come up with for the truck is that it's a 1955 Chevy Cameo -- pretty nice ride in its day! Since the date of the layout is supposed to be September, 1956, how in the world did that truck get is such bad condition? Oh well, it is representative, right?
I guess that's Uncle Millner leaning against the house while Pops has just arrived in the truck. Oh, and you guessed it, the Greaser over at Ebenezer Grill with the yellow Deuce Coupe has to be the character from American Graffiti with one letter added to his last name -- John MILLner.
OK, so nothing is glued down except the little 1953 Chevy scene picked up at a RR modelers' swap meet. We'll do a little work on grass, bushes, and trees before everything is finally set in place.
