Awww, thanks, Paul! :D
(Has somebody been peeking at "Anything Goes"? ;D )

Hey Jeff!
How is your scale model of Riverton coming along? I recall you had added the Siesta motel. I came across this website for a company that makes scale model signs. They are fully functional and come in different railroading sizes. They have all kinds of neat stuff. Here are a few of the Hotel/Motel ones.

Jeff Wrangler:
Those signs are pretty amazing, David.
Oh, the layout is coming along. I'm using only a fairly small table top, so it's less a recreation of Riverton than a small layout with some elements that resonate with Brokeback Mountain. The Siesta Motel, with a pickup in the parking lot in front of the end room ;D is one thing. Another is a livestock pen that I'm going to fill with sheep, as soon as I can find some. (I need to get some beef cattle, too.) I don't have a house trailer, but I do have what is supposed to be an old boxcar turned into a residence to signify the pretty bleak living conditions Ennis endured.
When I have the time I'd like to create a mountain (tunnel) with a dip in its ridge line to signify "Brokeback" (or maybe "Twin Peaks" ;D ). And I'm on the lookout for a couple of appropriate cowboy figures on horseback. The train itself is Union Pacific, because the U.P. crosses Wyoming, and consist of the train includes freight cars for transporting coal, oil, and livestock--Wyoming products.
