That is about street furniture useful for WWII to modern range and for sci fi, zombies, rioting,  etc...

some ideas:

-street lamps
- banks
- newspaper kiosk
- sewer entrance
- subway entrance
- traffic signs (scuare, circle, triangle)
- trash cans

Drunk in gutter.

I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Halfway between the gutter and the stars!

Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,
A being darkly wise and rudely great;
Created half to rise, and half to fall,
Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all...

Mmmm, I can write when I try.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Very nice FK.
Like the metaphor and scansion pattern too.

I must send you the novel I've written set in early 19th century Russia.

Some of those items are available in the N-scale railway I think, especially lampposts and traffic signs.

Just did a quick look on ebay and found under 'n-guage railways', then 'scenary' or 'buildings':

various types of street lamps
various banks
various newspaper kiosks
various subway entrances
various traffic signs (square, circular, and triangular)
various rubbish bins / trash cans / and wheely bins

The only thing I could not find straight away is a sewer entrance.

The actual cost of the above seemed very reasonable, so perhaps this time eBay might be a good place to look.   ;)

Yeah but he cheats, it was all written down  in the bible and spell-checked years ago
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Alexander Pope, Fenton, rather than Pope Alexander. Not so much biblical as bibliographical :)

Street barricades would be nice - tram cars, cars, house-furniture and a grand piano.

Yes i've watched too many late WW2 films :D
