Here is a scene right off of any narrow gauge layout! The large version of the image is a great study in old details. The next time you hear someone say “but it didn’t look like that back then, there is too much clutter” you will know better!
Notice the nail holes….

Hi Tim,
Great pic! The first thing I noticed is the fellow sitting next to the gas pump with a cigarette dangling from his lips. I wonder if that building is still around.
