Ed, I think your right, this could work for just about any era from the 50's on...

I really liked the edge of the small town...

I had no rail service there, so I didnt loose anything by putting the farm in that spot. Honestly, I thought the farm went along much better with the flow my layout has any ways, as most of my layout depicts the areas in WI that trains run, but you really dont see it, its outside the towns/cities. I already had an "edge of town area" , and it does have rail service...

I also had the "insinuation" of a farm, it has the farm house and part of the feild, but you coulnt see a barn...

Awesome job. I love the flexibility.

If you really want to go nuts you could add a small milk platform with some milk cans for the milk train. (You can tell I love milk trains and look for any excuse to add something for them.)

I like the weathering on the roof of that barn! Place looks suspiciously cared for - a proud farmer I'd say.
