how are the Upland Trains buildings holding up? I’m curious about them (fit the budget well).

Thanks!

Has held up fine since we got it. Although it doesn’t stay out year round. It is in winter indoor storage now.

Cale, I have two of the buildings and they’ve been left outside for 2 years without a problem… Through hot Arizona sun, wind, rain and snow…

Outstanding!

Nice interpretation of the source. I like those cast buildings, I cut one up for flats on the inside layout, they are a great deal for the price.

Matt, your conversion works for me. Like the guys said, you got it right.

Interesting how in Gato, the train tracks ran right in front of the store. Or was that a siding?

The track ran right in front of the real Gomez store

In Shannon, in front of the row of store fronts, there was dirt road, railroad street, and across that road was the tracks. Back when the railroad was the most important thing in town, the main street either ran beside the tracks, or the tracks were in the main street. No, not in every small town, but in many small towns.
