Suggestion for small area

Just build the Wicked Wanda’s kit and change the sign to a PG business name of your choice. 

I have a house of ill repute called "Bada Bing" which is portable.   I move it on and off the layout depending on who will be visiting ... kids or adults.  Of course I also have all the necessary accessories to go with it, which makes the scene even more interesting for ... adults only ...And they all seem to  smile and giggle once Bada Bing is spotted on the layout

I interchange this scene with a barrel warehouse.  The entire change over takes about 10 minutes.  

If you like WW you might think of a building you could easily trade places with WW.

Inasmuch as the area is somewhat away from the tracks and semi-secluded, how about installing the Lionel Hobo Campfire and the Hobo Hotel?  Just thinking out loud ...

Camp grounds...tents or small trailers.

A leveled-off area like that begs for a couple Lionel oil pump-jacks. 

Recessing the base level with the ground surface creates a near-scale believable scene, especially with the animation.

As much as I love the suggestions about the "Bada Bing", looks like a perfect spot for a camp ground.

A variety of suggestions, of places that appeal to a variety of imaginations:
+ a micro-beer craft brewery...

+a parochial school and church campus...

+ a rural snack-foods small business, side buildings, and parking, pull-in lot...

+ a tank-farm of modest proportions...

+ a suburban neighborhood of modest size...

+ and yes, a camp grounds..

They worked for me.

Looks like the wrong side of the tracks!

Maybe just a nice custom built elevated water tank with the town name on it in the color of your choice.

Frank, I’m such a fan of your timber scene, I think that would fit nicely.  With your permission, a couple photos.

To all...These are all really great suggestions. I'm going to have a tough time deciding which one to implement. Thanks for your input, 

Don

Depends on your point-of-view, huh.

For a structure, seems like any of the large Menard's buildings with some surrounding landscaping and parking would be a good fit -  like the new power & light or brewery or Tampa Towers.

I do like the tank farm. Very nicely observed. 

less than a foot wide......

When I saw the picture of that space, I immediately thought of that little corner of the Lionel Super-O showroom layout with the #175 Rocket Launcher tucked away up in the mountains. 

Can't find a good picture, but here's one from the "Model Railroading" book:

I guess its a tough decision making time for you Don. These are all great suggestions and the pics provided by our fellow OGR forum members are fantastic.

For what it is worth, my fav is the timber scene for this spot

This scene can also be expanded on, Pete.

TEDW,  Who is Frank? I'd like to see more pictures of his logging scene.
