Trinity City

Having cleaned all my western buildings (or so I thought), I discovered another two buildings, a general store made from a Timpo store, doubling its size. The other made from a Timpo Saloon is my undertakers.
Upstairs of the undertakers
Undertakers, downstairs
The Store
After clearing off my table of "Jimland" detritus I set out "Trinity City"as best as I could remember. Here's the photos
Originally Trinity stood on a table 8'x 6', cuurently it is sitting on 6'6" of my four foot wide table. There's a lot of repair work to do on these buildings. That's it for this week, it's been difficult typing without seeing what I was typing -Hence the stunted sentences. Thanks for taaking the time to visit, comments are welcomed and appreciated as always.

    Great looking town Joe, and the additional buildings add to the atmosphere. Have to keep reminding myself that these are larger scale and deserve more credit for all the work

      Thanks Dave, Trinty was only slightly larger than shown (I still have two or three unused buildings)and a railline behind the Hotel.
      They really were thrown together with whatever I had available and as quickly as possible too, si we could play a game.

    Lovely looking table, Joe. Well worth dusting down and setting up, imho. Thanks for taking the time to do it :-)

      Thanks Blaxx, this exercise has brought back many good memories of many games, now if only I had the write-ups !

      Thanks Douglas, that's my sentiment too, though reliving past games won't be the same solo.

    Excellent, get it cleaned up, get some cowpokes walking down Main Street get some lead flying and give us a game report:)

    Layout looks good even if it was difficult so hopefully it will get easier.
    Cheers

      Thanks Vagabond, I'm getting into the habit now of this new Blogger, but it's still hard. No doubt there is some way of seeing what I've typed!
      Once the buildings are repaired and their inhabitants retreived then I'm sure some 'lead' will fly !

    This looks absolutely FANTASTIC Joe - and would be my preferred "scale" for western gunfight games. The fact that you're reading The Rules With No Name has saved me recommending them to you :-)

    As for your Blogger woes, have you checked the toolbar at the top of the page? The far left icon is either "<>" or a little pen symbol. If you can see "<>" then you're in HTML mode and will only see gobbledigook when you type. Click on it and you'll have the option of clicking on the pen symbol (which is labelled "Compose Mode" or summat similar), and then what you type will appear on the screen.
    Really hope this helps.

      Thanks WA, I think I may welll like TRWNN; I rea dmany aars using them and they're simple enough for a good game.
      Thanks fo rthe tips on the new (rubbish) blogger. I'm sur I've used this before but couldn;t remember what it was for. What I was typing did appear on the screen until it ran the width of the screen then disappeared. Further experimentation needed I guess.

      Thanks Ptr, like many kids my age I grew up with westerns and had cowboy figures from the age of 7. I think I've never really grown up since and still enjoyed my western games - all of which I think I'm trying to recreate for nostalgia sake if nothing else.

      Thanks Frank, kit was always a dream to have cattle, the nearest we got was a sheep drover - led to great unrest with the many cow-hands in the town!
