Let's see how you use your figures creatively to make scenes on your railroad that are fun. I'll start us off. All of the photos are Iphone shots I worked in Photoshop at 300 dpi. Big doings in Munoz . . .

The guy with the sombrero cracks me up
Gorgeous little people, structures and scenes, Eliot.
A couple of shots from the soon to be gone mountain
The railway children family
Ben, the guy in the sombrero is up to something nefarious.
Peter, not extreme railfans, just city dwellers trying to escape to heat of a non-air conditioned apartment.
Hey Melgar,
What did you use for your brick roads?

Laser-cut cobblestone paper from Monster Modelworks. No longer in business but apparently will be opening under new ownership.

Downtown. On my 12-by-8 layout completed in 2004 and still in operation. If you look closely, you can see a blue passenger car of the LIRR stopped at the station.

Turtle2, I just realized that lucky waitress was delivering lunch to Elvis.
Pat, Patsburg needs to build a station platform for those passengers.
Karl S and Frank M those are some good looking teams of horses you both have.

As do I!
Yeow,
What a masterful scene !!!
Scrapiron mate.
I hope I am not intruding on your thread I apologise if I am.
To illustrate what I meant about colour here are two photos taken from the same place in the room the tracks in the foreground have not changed.
One shows before the Mill lots of figures, cars, colour, then after came the Mill sort of like in reverse of the real thing, not sure I should have posted this makes me sorta sad the colour has gone I miss those Hot Rods.
When I get to old to operate the trains I'll rip up most of the tracks and build a Casino where the Rolling mill is ! Roo.

Fabulous, Roo, the "Rock n Roll and Hamburgers" vignettes and the "Rolling Mill" panorama.
Johan Shark Bay gets better with every photo you post. The detail is amazing, the switch tower is a prime example.
Roo, you're a much stronger man than I being able to dismantle such a wonderful layout to start all over in a totally different setting and making the new layout just as good as the old.

It’s always fall on the Halloween layout.

At the haunted house:

Now this is cool. A bunch of years back my coworker was telling me about one of the people he knows that has Belgium horses and this is exactly what they are used for. He had said that you would think that with all the modern technology we have, that this would have been a thing in the past. The guy he said is always having his team hitched up and rearing to go to pull logs out of the woods. Prototypically fantastic I say. Awesome Karl.

Thanks, Frank. I need to look that up to see if I can find one. I have a similar hut on my own layout but I never liked the look of it as it's a Nissen hut, something you'd find in England and only big enough for a bomber crew to sleep in. I really need something that size for administrative people to be placed in for even a small unit HQ:
DAVE NYC HUDSON PRR K4, glad you enjoyed the photos from my logging scenes. I assembled the horses from kits made by Berkshire Valley. I liked the fact that they were kits, since I could adapt them to my particular needs. In this case, I made some rigging from some scale chain and also made some logging chokers around the logs. The "logs" are actually some branches from my back yard.
Roo . . . . . love your scenes !!
Frank . . . . I never see enough of your scenes !!

Hi Eliot, Thank you for being so kind, and I'm so sorry if some (many? all?) of the photos I have offered here on your thread have been repeats of details I have shared on other previous threads on OGR. I tried not to do that but simply lost track of all of those displayed in the past and was hoping you would be happy and that fellow-participants on this forum who had not seen various shots previously would find something interesting among them. So, I am grateful for what you have said here and hope that if any further photos from my files are repeats they may continue to be welcome and useful.
You have started a really interesting thread, here, and we all seem to be having a good time sharing what our imaginations and memories have brought forward into our modeling for our layouts.
Thanks, again, for being so laudatory and welcoming.
Be well and prosper, always, Eliot.

Always nice looking at scenes on other peoples layouts. I currently do not have anything on my layout figure or scene wise. So it is nice to see what other people have set up on their layout for potential ideas.

...Wonderful scenes!

Thanks, guys. Your acceptance and approval matters a great deal to me. I appreciated the kindness in your taking the time to send me those Likes.

Oh, that's nice too. You don't recall who made the kit, by any chance, would you?
As for single figure scenes:
In the bottom photo, a guy leaning on a shovel next to a huge pile of cinders (with a bucket full of the same right next to him, to his left). Now, why a person would be scooping cinders for personal use in WW2-era Tennessee mountain country, I have no idea. I just liked the way it turned out, as this scene is nowhere near any other structures of figures.
Samparfit, I was about to say nice train wash but as I scrolled through your photos I realized I needed to say nice everything on your layout. Great pics of a great layout.

You totally deserve the accolades.
Your work is truly impressive and I really like to see anything new.
Tom / Forty Rod, It is a MTH structure I weathered.
