Street lamps, park benches, buildings, and signage-all of these elements work together to create realistic street scenes on a model railroad layout. Then later, we visit a model railroader's layout in New York. Lou Sassi knows a thing or two about street scenes . When it comes to this layout, it's all in the details for Lou.
