Very nice, Doug! You sure didn't waste any time getting the new layout up and running. Great photos!

Doug:

It looks great! Is that your new GG1 that I see in the background of the fourth picture?

Regards,

COol - I love BIG mountains too and I've gotta get a blimp now! Looks like it's in a pretty stiff wind!

Doug - nice progress. Looks great! I have always wanted one of those Marx over the track cranes, but every time I see one (usually at York) the price is unreasonable (to me).

Regards, Roy

Doug; Looks great, I hope you put Mt.Seaman back up !! [:D][:D]
Email me when you get a chance, I have some extra oil filters I'll send you like the ones I use below. You can see if you like them, they are like the ones below that I never got painted yet, though yours are nice too!! I have some steel brake line & stuff I plan to make some pipes to go to them .

Thanks,

Doug,
The layout looks great, but you also have some neat pieces of equipment. Who made the trolley?

Doug- Your layout will not be complete without a Batcave & a Batmobile inside of it![;)][:)][:o)] You still need a 1688 on your layout to thwart a Grits invasion.[;)][8D][:D][:o)] Take Care.

DOUG: Boy am I glad I saw your photos! I was beginning to think that I was the only one who covered the entire board with grass. All the best.
