I have good intentions, but ...

My L-shaped O-gauge layout has two levels, and I initially intended to install AMERITOWN buildings along the three sides of the upper level with a back-n-forth trolley line in service to that downtown area. Those buildings (and many flats) are still in storage with no space for them after I decided to install 35 Dept 56 lighted porcelain North Pole Village buildings on that level instead.  I wanted a Christmassy area on the layout, and some of the Dept 56 pieces were animated for added interest.

The Ameritown buildings are still on  hand, so one of these days I may find a way to add them to the layout -- perhaps as background structures for a ceiling-mounted, around-the-room "nosebleed" route.

I also had several Ameritown "Cape Cod" houses on hand, so I made room for five of them in a suburban area with O-scale neighbors enjoying a multi-family picnic on the lawn. Admittedly, not a "gee whiz" scene, but it is a slice of Americana and includes a family dog snatching a steak from the grill.
