My Accesories of the week will consist of a new Tyco Horse Trailer to match my Yellow Kenworth, and my set of Tyco Honest Sam's autos.

No it was an incomplete kit. I didn't really want the building anyway. When I build my Tyco Town I don't really intend to use center street items.

Those cars look incredible!
My AOTW is a little off the rails....I, along with help from pops, installed a lightbulb on the ceiling towards the rear of the Ephrata Valley RR. This helps tremendously in not only lighting up the whole layout, but also in taking better photos of trains in the rear of the layout.

Let me throw an idea down here and see if it sticks. This is just some of my thinking, don't take it too seriously.
Put Al's general store in the blank spot by the gas station, so as to look like a general store that sells gas.
Next, put the truck station by the church in where the fire station is currently. Place the church in its place, then move the burger shop over there too.
Finally, slide City haul over to where the burger shop was, and then put your fire station right next door, with the engines inside.
Now you may wonder why I suggest such a complex change. I have my Pola Tyco Firehouse. Let tell you. It is tall. It will look far better when placed next to another tall building. Let me know what you think. This idea shouldn't impede your current plans really, and may make for a little more uniform lay out

Seeing the EVRR under the new light is surprising. The close ups belies
that this is a micro layout.

Interesting ideas, Aaron. The Ephrata Valley Tycoon is considering....
Chops, yep. Well, it is technically micro.

Ephrata Valley very much reminds me of the 4X4 layout I built my son back in the eighties, even the coaling tower. Somewhere many of the parts are in my current layout

| I've been thinking of getting on of those Tri-Burst LED lights to put over my table. It would probable be overkill...
