I much appreciate your interest and suggestion, Robert. I did take some photos, for my records, as I completed several of the vignettes (I call them "Insta-Ramas".) Here's an example...

Robert

The most popular seemed to be those dedicated to rural, small business themes that included such details as evident on these Insta-Ramas

...cont.
Of the Insta-Ramas that sold quickly, those w/ machinery and discarded miscellany were fun to craft, too...
(This one was experimental for me, but given the response, I'll craft more on the same theme for April's York, despite never repeating anything the same way again.)

Someone earlier used "FABULOUS" to describe Murphs' scenes.My vocabulary becomes very limited when trying describe his "insta-ramas".I'll say I agree with fabulous.[I need to find my old Rogets.]

Hi Roger, Hi Murph, nice to see what you're up to here. Hope everyone's been well.

Maybe, if you yell loud enough down the tracks so Tramp can hear you, he'd show you his latest newspaper column. He just finished it today and it's one of my favorites. He's been getting a lot of local commendation for his cool column!

I have read some of Tramps past columns and I would think that the award was well deserved.

CONGRATULATIONS,Tramp.

If you are from the south that would be congradulashons in some areas,

Murph, that rusty trailer module is a knockout. Might be my favorite of yours. It's not easy to model junk. It has to be done very thoroughly to look right.

Thanks, Roger.

It's all a matter of perspective.

And, while I know of no eccentrics, I will admit to a certain level of eclectic taste in both beer and music, :lol:
