Thinking about the Alta Vista TC

Work on the Alta Vista TC has been stalled for a very long time. Everyday life has made its demands of course, but that doesn't account for the entire work stoppage. I think the layout isn't up-to-scratch in the simple pleasures department

Although the old Lost Ocean Line wasn't a layout in the standard sense of the word, it was a lot of fun to build and tinker with. And it was also a good place to stage photos. 

The AVTC was never meant to be an operational or classical setup. It was just a place to loop streetcars from time-to-time, stage photos, and let me shuffle buildings around. I need to think about what's missing before I get going on a round of construction in preparation for Christmas.
