Just came up with one hair brained idea.
Since trains see mostly the backs of all structures, why don't we 'pretty' up all the back yards?

Introducing the latest, the greatest idea ever invented by one human;

PATIOS

Image

Custom built for your own personal structures.
(Just give me the dimensions. These here are 20'x20'.)
You add the fence, the gate, the vegetation, and any ornaments you want.

:D

Excellent! What grass texture do they match? I can see these being very usefull!

The idea is, you are supposed to fence your yard in so there isn't any matching grass to speak of. It's supposed to be your own grass and different then any other.
But, if you supply me with a texture you want me to use, I'll use it.

:D

Ah-hah! I was thinking that if it matched a grass texture, then the yards could be larger than your patio without having to make a bunch of custom sizes. I don't really have a favorite texture; it was just an idea :)

Oh, no. Now he's a landscape ar-tiste. Any pictures I ever saw of backs of buildings toward the tracks looked pretty junky. :)

Gawd, I know you're right, Norm! Real USA trash... LMAO

You're supposed to 'gussy up' your back yard, Curtis. LOL

Hey, that Bricks and Tiles app makes stones, too. That little app makes bricks, tiles, stones, boards, and in all shapes. You can add your mortar to it too.
It's pretty cool.

Check it out.

Since you've become quite the stone mason, you've prolly got a few more things up your sleeve. I must say, I could put about a dozen burgers and a few dogs on those two.
Lookin' good...........

He he, the guy from England taught me how to make those corners. Unfortunately, doing it to the top edge is extremely poly heavy so I'm not going to do it there. It's not really needed anyway.

Thanks,

:D
