Ohhhhhhhhhhh the details you`ll recall !!!!......this is absolutely wondrous on several levels Greg....."walking"down the street stirs nostalgic feelings and the cars seem aware of what a fine place they`v had the good fortune to visit

Greg, looks great.  Are the buildings scratch built by you, kits you assembled, or purchased assembled?

@ed-davis The Theater & Diner (I added the Burger sign on top) were purchased and gave me the idea but the rest are scratch built.. a lot of balsa wood, glue and photo shop.

Thanks everyone, glad you like it, at the moment it is 1949, it will move into the 50's in a couple of months and Diecast avenue may host a Corvette Rumble
