Features Selected for the South Shore portion of the layout.

Dear Followers.
Here is the list from the previous post:

Great Lakes Port with at least one ship

A Laker style ore ship

A Great Lakes Cruise Ship, the SS South American

A small Steel mill

An amusement park with animated rides including a roller coaster

A theater representive of the Chicago Theater

40-50 feet of the CTA Elevated ("L" in Chicago terms)

A downtown section of buildings

Here are my selections that I have determined are the best fit and will provide the most interest and value to me and to visitors.

Great Lakes Port with one ship

A Laker style ore ship

A small Steel mill

A selectively compressed theater representive of the Chicago Theater

40-50 feet of the CTA Elevated ("L" in Chicago terms)

A downtown section of buildings

The Great Lakes cruise ship is almost 9 feet long so that has been eliminated.  The Laker ship is much shorter being only 65-1/4" long.   The amusement park is too big for the layout and the South Shore's route did not serve any amusement parks as far as I can tell.  The theater will either created from my existing theater for the time being but may be re-built to be more representive of the Chicago Theater using selective compression.  The real theater if built to scale would occupy 42 by 53 inches.  The Port, the Laker ore ship, and the Steel Mill will occupy the same general area on the layout East of Calumet River.

Thanks for reading.
