One of my junkbox rebuilds, a patched GP9F (F = Frankenstein) made up of parts from Walthers, Front Range, Proto, Athearn, PPW.

A short run-by.

Finally got my project layout up off of the floor and into place.  I had to do a lot of the scenery on the back corner first, because that portion of the layout will be relatively inaccessable now that it is in it's final position in the corner of the basement.  There is enough of a hole in the corner to allow me to slip up to attend to any derailment that may occure.  But not much else.  Next matter to attend to is to is the wiring, so I can start actually running trains.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

Doug  --  the boss is looking over my shoulder at your pics and wants to know what material you used to make them?

Thanks.

Is wide gauge the same as standard gauge?

Yes, the only difference is that noone but Lionel could use the name "Standard Gauge" since they had a trademark. So when American Flyer, Ives, Dorfan and others in the 1920's started making larger trains they used "Wide Gauge" to describe the size of the track, even though the distance between the rails were the same.
