At first I was just trying to fill the layout with anything track related. Then it started to look like clutter to me so I decided to try to make stuff I had look more interesting. The little T-shirt stand has printed images of my racing friends team logos. The BBQ stand is a tribute to my affinity for chili dogs. Some of the characters I painted represent real people. I've got 350 figures on the layout now. I started reproducing vintage race cars that aren't available otherwise. I even managed to make clones of some of my actual vehicles. The wrecker I made has working headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and horn. The computer screen displays driver's names and announces race results. Yesterday I added a laser projector that produces a night sky star effect on the ceiling & walls. The hand written track signs were meant to add a bit of humor.
