The Big Train Project Status Report (Part 71)
One of the fascinating features of the EnterTRAINment Junction (EJ) layout is the number of interesting and unusual characters that populate various scenes and locations throughout the layout. Their purpose is to add a bit of light-hearted fun to layout, and maybe generate a smile, as the viewer is reminded of the familiarity of the person or the scene. The following are just a few examples. I’ll leave it to you to guess where in the layout they are, but I won’t leave you hanging. Answers are at the end of this article.
Figure 1. Prospector
Figure 2. Roller-Skating Waitress
Figure 3. Windblown Dog Walker
Figure 4. Spiked Hair
Figure 5. Large Cast
Figure 6. Fresh Soda
Figure 7. Begging Pup
Figure 8. Skateboarding
