As the building structures are planned, purchased and built and prior to their placement on the physical layout, we'll show them here. Where the structures have not been built, I'm showing a catalog picture.  Once built, I'm currently using my Olympia camera at its minimum focal length and a portrait setting to take these pictures. I want to get closer, so I have a ViCAM Video camera, from Vista Imaging, in order to get instant digital images.  It has a super close-up lens, so I'll be able to get right down on the track.  This camera is planned to provide online videos and stills for this website. 10/24/99
