An E. L. Moore study diorama

The collection contains three of the industrial buildings that appeared on the right side of E. L. Moore's 1900 era shortline terminal yard:  Dilly Manufacturing Co., Central Warehouse, McGee Lumber Co.. Since all of them appear in a row along a siding on Mr. Moore's diorama, I started to wonder if some sort of display or diorama could be put together that replicated that part of the yard. 

One thing lead to another and I started to play with the idea of building a small layout / diorama, 2'x4' say, that contained the three buildings from the yard, along with a few others.

Right now I'm thinking of a loop with 10" radius curves and 2 sidings for industries. I'd also like to include the original Ma's Place and the AHM plastic kit of Ma's - painted to match the original - as well as my handcar shed, which was my attempt years ago to try a variety of Moorian building techniques. 

The base would be foam, power DC, and it might incorporate a scene divider down the centre to split the layout in two. Design work continues.
