I think the old saying is "Art is in the eye of the beholder" or ear and this is a good example.

We're saying the same thing.

I wonder if anyone has got any examples of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture on their O scale layout?

Very interesting point. Such buildings would have to be custom-made, huh, even of his earliest houses. And then, like "Falling Waters," there would have to be an entire setting attendant to the building, too (?)
Imagine Le Corbusier structures on a layout!

Why don't you try that and see how it works -- build a module of Fallingwater (not Falling Waters)!!!
I'm sure that there are plenty of pictures to work from to do this.

Ever been there? Well worth the trip. And, there's another of his houses just a few miles away also well worth visiting: Kentuck Knob

Seriously - I'd really like to see what your creativity might do with this challenge.

Re: STREET LIFE
Murph, I haven't heard you talk of any creative work since you did the layout for FAO Schwarz. A little Wright or Le Corbusier might be fun. So might be some William Mason locomotives, for that matter.

Nothing. But I appreciate the vote-of-confidence in your even thinking it might have been possible, Rufus.

Don't toss in the towel, Murph!

Re: STREET LIFE
Roy and Rufus,
I simply lost interest.i haven't operated the layout in many months and certainly have not effected any changes to it. It is completed as far as I am concerned, though I still treasure it.
I stopped Layout Refinements , for now.
I get considerable enjoyment on OGR forum because there I get numerous reactions to and conversations about the photos I share there of layout modeling. That's become fun for me.
Quite some time ago, I began experiencing a paucity of interest here, on MTJ , in my layout-oriented postings, with the exception of Roger, so I stopped , not wanting to be ridiculous.

Bring it back to life with Fallingwater

I know, but then there's the environment there that accounts for much....

There are only a very few here that post anything really related to model RR'ing; layout building, models, projects of any kind. In fact, I'd be hard pressed to think that might be in double digits. The majority posting here on MTJ never show a single model, anything they have made or done, their layout, etc. I have to wonder if many even have a layout of any kind....
