I had the opertunity  to visit this great layout. It is 8' x 28' with 5 main lines, all running on conventional mode.

It's been quite awhile since I posted  over here, so here is a pic I just took of my AtlasO GP-35

I always liked the Halloween colors and script of the W&LE, good looking diesel.

Great photos folks.  My only offering this week is a UP GP-38 getting ready to cross the lake.  The bridge in the photo is only my second attempt at scratch building an item.  I did not model a prototype, just used my simple imagination.

zwbob - That WLE scheme is really eye-catching.  Sometimes I'll catch an engine coming through the Narrows in Cumberland, and periodically, WLE unit hopper trains show up in Sparrows Point.

Christmas is over, the tree is down, but the Wonderland Express takes to the rails in my household.  Yes, you count only two tracks.  This is a Bachmann Heavy Hauler G gauge train.

A beautiful 4-6-0, like you might encounter at the turn of the 20th Century.  Obviously a made up railroad name, but it is a Christmas train after all.

And a great attention to details.  Very nice train set.
