I used this fence stuff from Plastruct. The posts are plastic coated piano wire. The fence is a plastic screen. Here it is on their site.

Very cool. I love the rod cruising up to the salvage shop. Another important addition to Davetown.

Do you have a bewery planned for Davetown. That would really test your brickwork!

Haven't thought about a brewery, but its not a bad idea. "Dave Beer"...? Davetown Stout...Dave Boheman? I never know what's going to happen.

Davetown looks like a sweet place! Is it in HO scale?

I think my favorite is the tar roof you put down... although that red Mustang is pretty sweet!
