A few CVRR pictures and some other related pictures....

In that "Tire Repair Plant," I cannot imagine what the purpose was for those horizontal smears of cement (?) along the length of that wall - never saw that before.

Might have been something along the walls from a prior use of the space that after being removed required patching and parging...

I just liked the captured scene and era. Never thought to create an interior that would have such a purpose. There's one for you to try out.

You're right, of course, it is an interesting interior, for sure. However, if somebody hadn't seen such a place, I'm not sure how acceptable they'd find such an interior in a modeled scene.

For example (I'll try to take a photo later), a lone cape cod-style house sitting with its little yard smack-dab in the middle of a commercial neighborhood, complete with strip-mall and office buildings, would seem UNrealistic to many layout viewers, so I would not - have not - modeled it, not even for myself. Yet, it exists a mile+ down the street from me. Given the limits on layout real-estate, I try to be reasonable.

Have I made any sense to anybody at all ?

Yes..........

But, if you know it's prototypical, why do you care about what others think, particularly if you can print out a photo to prove it, post in your layout room near it, on the table when you sell it, etc.?

Tire Repair Plant in Kreamer, PA

Notice the almost LIONEL logo center left.
Also, my dad used to operate such a place in lower Manhattan during the depression; Delancy St., I think.

You couldn't use yours all up even if you sprang a leak.

True, particularly since neither of us made note of this being good or not-so good or just bad, or just flat out silly,

I think the vote was there for silly before we even began this latest chest-bump.

Open up. This won't hurt..........a lot or for very long,

A bicycle sharing the scene with a horse-n-wagon. Wouldn't have thought of that. Now I will.

The 2 overlapped long ago and still do to this day.

I actually like that porch roof on the house to the right - appears to have rounded corners (maybe an illusion?). Have to think about how I could do that and still have it look good.

I wonder if the porch floor corners match?
