I broke down and ordered a pair of building kits. Both are Walthers. The first is the "Merchant's Row I" which will go okay with the "Merchant's Row II" already on hand.
Then, I added the "Hole-In-One Donut Shop." A recently deceased friend (from 400 miles away) used one in a scene, surrounded by police cars. I'm wanting to remember Ken by copying his lead.
Speaking of a module set, I did one a long while back that was to be built as a series of tropical islands, connected by single track bridges or trestles. I did some mock-ups of it with Tomix track, and ran a few trains on it. The set is named the Trans-Tropics Railway, but the locals call it the Taki-Tiki. It's basically a 3-way junction (on a volcano island) with a couple other islands, then ending in three return loops. DCC, or DC with a lot of attention being paid to running it.
I have test run Atlas 4-6-2's on C140mm (5.5") radius curves:

So this is YAP (Yet Another Project) that keeps rearing its' head, refusing to go away. At any rate, I took the Taki-Tiki and removed one end loop. Then, a long bridge later, it was connected to the wye port on Module #4. Since I have TrainPlayer, it was exported from AnyRail to TrainPlayer and test run on the computer. Oh, I do think I'll have to build at least the long trestle and an end loop, just for the fun of running it.
Here's a drawing of the whole mess. If anyone has TrainPlayer and wants the files, let me know.
And, no, I'm not smoking or drinking anything . . .
