Thank you, Ted and Darrell!
Ted, I started in HO, then switched to N, then was going to build another HO layout, but it never happened. So, the last layout I built was in N-scale. I too switched to O for the reasons you did.
Scratch built "Boyce Homestead" scene in N-scale. I find it hard to believe I actually did that at one time. 
Darrell, I will mention again that Myles Trainman2001 built the Idaho Hotel kit, but it does take a lot more to build a scene around it. Our older daughter bout me the campsite figures and most recently Sasquatch. I was looking at the almost bare hill and thought, "why not" until I get some trees in place. I have had the fire tower for quite a while, so that makes the scene.
