Good looking photos all! JASPER, I had to count the rails to make sure you weren't sneaking some HO pics in there. Nice modelling! 88 - B&ORR Museum should hire you as their new spokesman! C&O looks good on the Carpet Central.

LOL!

Hey - while I was there I got to thinking about the layout... I know dangerous thing for me to do - THINKING that is... anyhoo - do you know of a book on Bridges within the B&O/C&O system?

Downtown at the station.

What a neat scene! Nice pic.
Brent, enjoyed the tour of the roundhouse museum...planning on getting up to see that real soon.
Laz, I like the strip mining scene...and the way you have it laid out when coal gets sprinkled all over the place it'll just look normal since there's coal everywhere already! Brilliant. Coal operations and trains are like peas and carrots
Chief nice mountains...any chance you'll stick some trees into/onto them? I have a feeling my train layout will look like yours once I get around to setting it up. Who needs scenery when you've got TRAINS?

Thanks ROLAND, I have this (strip mine) under my cellar steps its in an area abot 4 ft x 4 ft.

Chief,

You may want to add a few trees or lichen to the tops of the mountain so the NE Yankee don't razz you as much. Hopefully the N.E. bat got his snout full of snow from that comment of his!

He says no snow but inches of rain [flooding]. Told him not to mess with Mother Nature nor the Chief.

Lee, that is just temporary. Will be using hydrocal and make some 3D looking stuff at the portals [actually they will then not be touching the wall]. Then trees and rocks. Wife is going to paint trees on the flat surface left.
