My old west town is located in Colorado, somewhere along the front range towards the southern border of the state.
This is, currently, a mix of building from scratch, Sarissa Precision, Gamecraft Miniatures
That's very nice! Is that the Bachmann On3 engine?
That is just gorgeous - your best pics yet - game report!?
PS: You inspired me to pick up a couple cases of those GF9 badlands things...just have to paint them up.
Yes it is , on ON30 track too, has a better look as the sleepers are larger than oo/ho
@Deedles: your town is absolutely awesome, much eyecandy there!!! :).
What rules did you use?
Very cool town Deedles. I like the building under construction.

Love what you did for the cattle. Where did you get them?
. As long as you can play a game and have a good time everything else is secondary.
I once looked up real genuinely odd Old West town names and came up with this list.

The mind boggles at some of these.

Beautiful town you have there...and this thread should have about a half dozen new members considering all the projects I've seen being thrown around!
I forgot about this thread.
Considering I got so much inspiration from it, thanks is quite deplorable...
I had better offer up my own small, but growing, town of Upsheet Creek:

This is a photo taken a while ago, there has been a small amount added since and plenty still to add to this one.
Hickory Flat
I needed a name so I googled "old west town names" and one of the first hits was a site with a name randomizer. Hickory Flat caught my eye. So here is in short the story of the birth of name of my town :D

very nice :-*
Nice town, GS.
Very inspirational.

Another late one to the party....
My Mexican town called El Segundo
That church is excellent. Was it scratch built and if so how did you make it?
Bump...per new interest!
Great bump...
Agreed.
I am getting the itch to add something to my own town now......it has been a while.
:D
Already painted some Black Scorpion Apaches during the holidays but can't post... LPL10 :D
Time for an update on Upsheet Creek too, I reckon.
Plenty more still to do, of course....
Added a couple of the new towns to the first page.
Monkey not a bad start at all!
Love your subtle changes to the Saloon colouring!
Now get to it!
Still a work in progress but my town is:
Beau Gus Junction
Named after the two failed Express Station men who settled there - nobody ever made use of the station and there ain't no junction. It's totally Beau Gus.
We (Skirmish Wargames Collective ) have a whole county, Pima NMT, (we know the real one was in Texas) and a number of towns, with town plans and even schedules for the stage line running between them...will post some names and photos. The buildings are primarily 54mm 1/32nd scale, though we do game OW in 28mm too.
It's smaller than most towns in this thread,
Thanks for the kind words guys.According to one Cracked article, it's like saying "Give a hoot. Don't pollute!" in reference to the kind of "mess" made when passersby throw trash at a trash can rather than into it. The answer is that the relevant authorities show up at your door and hand over a trash bag to tell you that you've been sentenced to go clean it up...
@Argonor - I've been to Texas and the only thing bigger there are the hats... :o And what happens if you do mess with Texas? I've never gotten a clear answer on that.
Another great addition to the Roll Call.

15 years, eh?
Amazing, yiou should have taken piccies ages ago.
Still, good to see them now as there are some lovely builds in there.
:D
And that name is just brilliant.
lol lol
Welcome to Appaloosa !!
The start of a new town for my miniaturemen orc and dwarf cowboys, it.s small as every building has to be scratch built due to the scale of the minis

And the name

McGinty's Crossing, if I'm not mistaken, was the scene of much bloodletting at BLAM :D
