The three Easley train show boxcars made it to the layout and look right at home. Some effort was made to weather; looks like C&O needs to have its rust dulled a bit. . .
Also, the motive power for Blacktop Crossing is lined up with engines idling.
Tried to create a scene at the team track. Seems one guy is claiming to have done all the unloading work from the LCL car at the dock while another is just about to pass out and needs a rest on the steps. We could ask the supervisor who really did the work, but she also knows who's bragging and who's working!
Moved the milkman and his truck from the Company Store to the Mill Village. The youngsters in that house probably consume gallons of milk a week.
The Doc's Buick is parked in back of the Doctors' Office, and a wagon load of recently-picked cotton enters the Cotton Gin for processing. Maybe that panel truck at the Gin is picking up some cotton seed for oil production. And maybe that same truck will be stuck there for the duration -- funny what a little compression will do for realism!!
A couple of vehicles are parked at the Cotton Office and a delivery truck has pulled into the back of the Company Store to unload. A couple of stray cats have found a viewing spot on the short fence.
Beyond the end of the Blacktop and across the tracks are the rolling hills in the background. The Rural Church parking lot is filling up, but a few more "parishioners" are needed to complete the scene.
On the other side of the Cotton Factory a few bales of cotton are left on the dock to be brought inside. [a bit out of focus!]
And on the other side of town, the greasers are still talking cars and trash, folks are having hot dogs and conversation, and life goes on in a small Southern town on a balmy September afternoon.
