Did you spend a lot for the RR signs in the last picture? Marx right?
I use to buy those till everyone thought they were gold, I refuse to finance those sellers. I have not looked for them for a while now.

You said in a post the some figures won't stand in the grass and you used card board.
Another option is to try clear plastic from things you buy in packages. There are different thicknesses some work better then others.
I use them for my O gauge people, where ever they stand on your (dirt, grass, whatever) the color of the dirt or grass makes them blend in nice, you can hardly see them.
And I can move them around the table easy. I don't know how they would work on standard gauge people.

Nice pictures, you do have a bunch of trains!

Original section began in late eighties.  Entire board is four boards with hinged bridges connecting.

 

This is also a test to see if attachment function is working.

Welcome.
The attachment worked here in this post much better then your next try with PDF's that one has to click to see.
Nice layout. (thumbs up)
Terry has a bunch of videos here.

Nice job, I have seen that before, if people only knew to take the battery out.

 Had a Jersey Central FM 2341, that looked like that at the battery compartment.
Tried to show with pictures........pictures too large!

Tried a resize,
 Nope didn't work I reduced the size 50%, didn't take.
