I thought this was interesting. HO or N Scale. Found at a thrift store. It appears to be made of cork.

Carved or pressed???

Creative handiwork. Could have been some student's history / research project ???

It reminds me of Balboa park in San Diego.

Very Interesting,
Expensive Material for Bulk purposes.
But the Cork has the Muddy Look or those Clay building areas.
Money and Time saved there in Painting etc.
